What If...
Nothing happens when you follow the operating
instructions?
You Should
• Check the system power; is there a battery in the battery box?
• Be sure the scanner is programmed for the terminal in use.
• Make sure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code you are
scanning.
• Check for loose cable connections.
• Check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced.
• Try scanning test symbols of the same code type.
• Be sure you are within the proper scanning range.
Symbol is decoded, but not transmitted to the host
terminal?
You Should
• Be sure the proper host type is selected (See Chapter 4).
Scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the terminal?
You Should
• Make sure the system is programmed for the correct keyboard type.
• Make sure the CAPS LOCK key is off.
• Be sure the proper host is selected.
• Be sure editing options (e.g. UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion) are properly
programmed.
If after performing these checks the symbol still does not scan, contact your distributor
or call the Symbol Support Center. See Symbol Support Center for the telephone
number.
