Maintenance

Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance.

If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no

ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-

abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.

If the unit’s housing requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not

contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or

damage the unit’s exterior.

Scanner Operation

Audible Indicators

When the scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible feedback to

indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings are available

for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone).

One Beep – On Power Up

When the unit powers up, the green LED turns on, then the green LED flashes

and the scanner beeps once. The green LED will remain on for the duration of

the beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.

One Beep – During Operation

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green LED will flash and

the scanner beeps once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not beep

once and the green light does not flash, then the bar code has not been

successfully read.

Visual Indicators

The scanner is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the

scanner’s state and the status of the current scan respectively when the unit is in

operation.

LED

Figure 3. LED Location

Green and Red LEDs Are Off

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the

host or transformer.

Steady Red

Steady green indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation.

Accompanied by a razzberry tone, a steady green LED indicates that an invalid

bar code has been scanned.

Flashing Red

After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will be shortened.

During this time the green LED will flash. This indicates that the scanner is in a

power saver mode. When a bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will

wake up and return to normal pulse mode.

Steady Red and Single Green Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green LED will flash and

the scanner will beep. If the green LED does not flash and the scanner does not

beep, the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some

communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is

ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the

scanner’s green LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Failure Modes

One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure.

Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the

scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an

Authorized Service Center.

Three Beeps – On Power Up

If the scanner beeps three times on power up, then the non-volatile memory

(NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. You must return the

unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

communicates and

beeps twice.

The same symbol

timeout is set too

short.

Adjust the same symbol timeout

for a longer time.

The unit powers up,

but does not beep.

The beeper may

be disabled or no

tone has been

selected.

Enable beeper and select a tone.

Symptoms Possible Causes Solution

The unit powers

up, but does not

scan and/or

beep.

The unit is trying to

scan a particular

symbology that is not

enabled.

UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2

of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and

Codabar are enabled by default.

Verify the type of bar code being

read has been selected.

The unit powers

up, but does not

scan and/or

beep.

The bar code being

scanned does not

satisfy the configured

criteria for character

length lock or

minimum length.

Verify the bar code being scanned

falls into the configured criteria.

The scanner defaults to a

minimum of three-character bar

code.

Configuration Introduction

Your new scanner has been factory configured with a set of default parameters.

Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, a

wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code

based configuration tool are provided. Once the configuration is completed, the

scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves

the settings when the power is off.

Note: Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that is

a factory default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the

Multi-Code configuration method.

Bar Code Configuration Methods

Scanners can be bar code configured in two ways:

the Single-Code Method and the Multi-Code Method.

Single-Code Method

Most features can be enabled or disabled using the Single-Code Method.

1. Power up the scanner.

2. Scan the bar code for the desired feature.

3. The scanner will emit a multi-toned beep to indicate the configuration

has been saved to NOVRAM.

Multi-Code Method

All features can be enabled or disabled using the Multi-Code Method.

A feature marked with a tilde ( ~ ) requires the Multi-Code Method.

1. Power up the scanner.

2. Scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code (3 beeps).

3. Scan the bar code for the desired feature (1 beep). Multiple features can

be enabled/disabled before scanning the enter/exit configuration mode

bar code.

4. Scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code (3 beeps) and save

the new configuration. To abort a configuration change, power off the

scanner before scanning the Enter/Exit code.

Enter/Exit Configuration Mode

³999999

Returning to Factory Defaults

Scan the Recall Defaults bar code to erase all previous settings and return

the scanner to its factory default communication protocol.

Recall Defaults

³999998

Code Types and Decode Rules

Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that is a

factory default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the Multi-Code

configuration method.
