Troubleshooting
Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Scanner not working / No power to scanner |
|
|
Scanner is disabled | Ensure that correct host interface cable is used. | Scan appropriate host parameter bar codes. |
Scanner not decoding bar code |
|
|
Scanner decoding bar code, but data not transmitting to host |
|
|
Scanned data incorrectly displayed on host | Scanner not programmed for correct host interface. | Scan appropriate host parameter bar codes. |
Low battery start-up | LED indicates low battery start-up. | Wait for red LED to turn green, indicating scanner is charging. |
Battery is above or below normal operating temperature | LED indicates battery temperature. | Do not use scanner; move scanner to location with normal operating temperature; refer to the Product Reference Guide for more information. |
Cradle communication error | N/A | Inspect contacts; remove and reinsert scanner in cradle. |
Helpful Bar Codes
These bar codes can be scanned to configure scanner behavior:
- Add an Enter Key (Carriage Return/Line Feed): Scan three specific bar codes in numerical order to add an Enter key after scanned data.
- Add a Tab Key: Scan three specific bar codes for the Enter key function, followed by five specific bar codes in numerical order, to add a Tab key after scanned data.
(Note: The actual bar codes for these functions are visual elements in the original document and are represented here by their description.)
