Problem Suggestion
On Line Mode and Serial On Line
Mode:
the reader does not respond correctly to
the expected external signal end.
In the Genius™ software configuration
program select the OPERATING MODES
folder and check the “Reading Phase
Timeout” parameterization.
Reading:
it is not possible to read the target
barcode (always returns No Read)
Check synchronization of reading pulse with
object to read.
Place barcode in the center of scan line and
run TEST MODE (selectable by Genius™ as
Operating Modes).
If you still have troubles, check the following:
Is the reading distance within that allowed
(see reading diagrams)?
Choose the CODE tab and enable
different code types (except
Pharmacode). LENGTH = Variable.
Is the barcode quality sufficient?
If you had no success, try to perform the test
using the BARCODE TEST CHART included
with the product.
If working in PackTrack™ mode, verify that
the coordinates (in particular the Y axis) are
correct.
Communication:
the device is not transmitting anything to
the host.
Is serial cable connected?
Is correct wiring respected?
If using MAIN RS232 or RS485 interface, is
the reference ground connected to proper
SGND Main Isolated (also referred to as
GND_ISO)? Be careful that it is not
completely different from GND power ground.
If using C-BOX 100, be sure the RS485
termination switch is positioned to OFF.
Are serial host settings equivalent to serial
device settings?
Communication:
data do not appear on the terminal.
In the Genius™ program enable the DATA
COMMUNICATION SETTINGS/MAIN-
AUXILIARY PORT\DATA TX parameter.

Check the CODE FIELD LENGTH value, too.
Are the COM port parameters correctly
assigned?
