LS6000B-U

QUICK GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

LS6000B-U laser barcode scanners series have incorporated the latest wireless

blue-tooth technology. The technology provides customer with the freedom of

mobility, with long communication range from the charging cradle.

The bar code scanner requires establishing communications with its charging

cradle (built-in dongle). After communications have been established between the

scanner and charging cradle, futures bar code scans will be transmitted from the

scanner to the cradle and from the cradle to the host.

For power supply, the charging cradle of LS6000B-U also works as a battery

charger for the scanner. Users can plug in 5V DC power adaptor for power charge

of the scanner.

Package of LS6000B-U series should contain:

1. LS6000B-U Laser Barcode Scanner

(Rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack inside)

2. Charging Cradle with USB cable & DC plug

3. Power Adaptor (5V/1A)

4. User’s Manual

Tip

Do not hold the scanner directly over a barcode at 90˚. Scanning light bounces

directly back into the scanner from the barcode label is known as specular reflection

which will create a "dead zone" where decoding is difficult. Practice a few times to

find what range of angles works best.

Maintenance

Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may

affect scanning accuracy.

Wipe the scanner window gently with a lens tissue or other material suitable for

cleaning optical material.

Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly onto the window.

Appendix-A

Troubleshooting & Error Beeps

a. Problem: Nothing happens when I follow the operating instructions.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

Interface cables are loose Check for loose cable connections

b. Problem: When I connected RS232 interface reader to PC, I could not get

power up signal.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

There is no power from PC series

port.

Use external power supply or take the

power from PC.

c. Problem: When I connected RS232 interface reader to PC or terminal, I got

power up signal but no data transmitted.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

This may cause by wrong pin out or

wrong communication protocol.

Check the pin out and communication

protocol to match the PC or terminal

you are using.

d. My computer gets a keyboard error while booting up.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

The scanner is damaged or is no

longer functioning.

Disconnect the scanner from your

computer and use your keyboard only.

Reboot your computer. If your

computer still gets a keyboard error,

then the problem may not be the

scanner. Call technical support for

assistance.

e. Problem: Light comes on, but symbol does not decode.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

Scanner is not programmed for the

correct bar-code type.

Please refer User’s Guide and be sure

to select the correct interface selection

and ensure that the scanner is

programmed to read the type of

barcode you are scanning.

Barcode symbol is unreadable. Check the symbol to make sure it is

not de-faced. Try scanning test

symbols of the same barcode type.

Distance between scanner and

barcode is incorrect.

Move the scanner closer to or further

from the barcode.

f. Problem: The scanner beeps, but no data is displayed on my computer.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

Scanner is not programmed for the

correct host type.

Please make sure the scanner is

configured to the appropriate host type

by scanning the corresponding

programming barcode on the User’s

Manual.

The scanner is configured to send the

numeric data as KEYPAD

NUMERICS, or the Keyboard Country

setting is set to UNIVERSAL.

Reconfigure the scanner to Send

Numerics as MAIN KEYBOARD KEYS

and set the Keyboard Country setting

to the country setting of your

computer.

g. Problem: Scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

Scanner is not programmed to work

with the host.

Be sure proper host type is selected.

For RS232, ensure the scanner’s

communication parameters match the

host’s settings

For keyboard emulation configuration,

ensure the system is programmed for

the correct keyboard type, and that the

CAPS LOCK key is off.

Be sure editing options (e.g UPC-E to

UPC-A Conversion) are properly

programmed.

The scanner’s Keyboard Country

setting does not match the computer’s

keyboard setup.

Set the scanners Keyboard Country to

the same setting as the keyboard on

your computer.

h. Problem: Some of the barcode data is missing displayed on the host.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

The scanner’s transmit speed is too

fast.

For RS232, you can set up the

scanner’s transmit speed.

i. My Caps Lock LED on my keyboard flickers when I read a bar code.

Possible Cause Possible Solution

The Keyboard Country that you are

using requires shifting in and out of

the shift Lock mode to send the data

properly.

This is normal operation. You can

reduce the flickering and speed the

data transmit by sending numerics as

keypad numerics, or setting the

keyboard country to UNIVERSAL

mode.
