If the scanner is connected to a keyboard wedge for this test, it should read
one barcode, beep, and the LED remain red. This is normal when the
keyboard wedge is not connected to a live host terminal.
The LED would flash red and read no barcode if the scanner is programmed
in USB interface but not connected to a host device.
If the scanner does not produce any beeps, or produces the wrong beeps, or
the LED is not lit up, remove the power connection and refer to the section
of Troubleshooting.
