GENERAL PROCEDURES
Our Barcode Scanners are simple to install and use.
Most operational issues can be attributed to:
GROUP-45
INCORRECT INTERFACE CONNECTION
INCORRECT CONFIGURATION SETUP
POOR BARCODE QUALITY
KEYBOARD INTERFACES
PROBLEMS
1.
First, make sure the scanner is
Ƥ
rmly connected to the host
computer, when attached correctly, the scanner will emit
one long beep. When the trigger is pressed, LED will
ƪ
ash.
2.
Once the power is on, try scanning some sample bar codes
from this user’s guide. The scanner should beep and the
LED should
ƪ
ash to indicate a good read in the default
con
Ƥ
guration. If reading the bar code does not result in
a good read, there may have been a problem with the
scanning technique or the interface con
Ƥ
guration setting.
Reset the scanner to default.
3.
If the scanner indicates a good read, but there is no output
of data to the monitor, please check the cabling connection.
In general, the Keyboard Wedge interface is trouble free, but
there is still something to check in the event of a problem:
Do you have the correct cable?
Most computers use an XT/AT-compatible keyboard. Be sure
you have the proper cable for your computer.
Does the keyboard work?
Since the keyed-in data from keyboard must pass through the
decoder, the cabling connections are correct if the keyboard is
functioning.
Can your computer accept the data fast enough?
Your computer’s BIOS has a feature related to keyboard typing
speed. Try to set the Intercharacter Delay feature to stimulate
the keystroke entry speed.
Does keyboard port supply enough power?
Most notebook computers do not supply enough power to the
scanner. The symptom of insu
ƥ
cient power is a lower “good
read” rate (since there is not enough power to properly support
the scanning operation).
