3. Check all connections to ensure they are secure.
Aiming the Device
When scanning, the device projects an aiming pattern that allows positioning the barcode within its field of view. If necessary, the scanner turns on its LED to illuminate the target barcode. To scan a barcode, center the symbol and ensure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the illuminated LED. When off-centered, the scanner can also read a barcode presented within the aiming pattern. The following image illustrates proper LED placement to produce a successful decode.
Figure 1 Aiming Pattern

01234 5

DS5502 Quick Start Guide
The aiming dot is smaller when the scanner is closer to the barcode and larger when it is farther away. Scan barcodes with smaller bars or elements closer to the scanner and those with larger bars or elements farther from the scanner. The scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the barcode. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, go to Scanner Indications on page 27.
Presentation Mode Scanning
In Presentation Mode (default) during idle conditions, the scanner operates in object detection mode and automatically wakes up to decode a barcode presented in the field of view. In object detection mode, it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be dimly lit. NOTE: Alternatively, configure the device to use scene detect mode, in which the device keeps the light off (Low Light Scene Detection) and only turns it on during an active decode state (Motion Detection Mode (Wakeup)). Refer to the DS5502 Product Reference Guide for more information. 1. Ensure all connections are secure. 2. Present the barcode in the scanner's field of view. 3. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps, and the LED flashes green.
In scene detect mode, the device keeps the light off and only turns it on when it transitions from this mode to an active decode state.
Trigger Mode Scanning
Capture barcode data in trigger mode by using the device's built-in trigger. 1. Ensure all connections are secure. 2. Point the scanner at the barcode. 3. Press and hold the trigger button.

Troubleshooting

This section provides information for troubleshooting the scanner.

Problem No green LED or nothing happens during a capture attempt.

Possible Cause No power to the scanner.

Scanner cannot read the barcode.

Interface/power cables are loose. Scanner is not programmed for the correct barcode type. Incorrect communication parameters. Barcode symbol is unreadable.

Possible Solutions Check the system power. Connect the power supply. Re-connect loose cables. Re-connect loose cables.
Program the scanner to read the type of barcode to be decoded.
Set the correct communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc.).
Ensure the symbol is not defaced. Try capturing similar symbols of the same code type.

Illumination and aim pattern does not appear. LED activates, followed by a beep sequence.

Hot environment. Beeper is configured.

Remove the scanner from the hot environment and allow it to cool down.
Go to Scanner Indications on page 27 for beeper indication descriptions.
