Microscan 610 BCR successfully reading a bar code label
ADVICE
The Microscan box has a standard bar code label on the outside. The Microscan
will not read all labels. Use this label to check the BCR operation. Then use a
sample of the customer’s label to see if the reader will read the label. Distance
between the scanner and the label is important. In order to read the label it may
be necessary to adjust the distance several times
If this step fails, the red light does not come on, try these fixes:
•
Try scanning alternative barcode labels. The first barcode sample
may have been bad.
•
If still fails, repeat Step 1 to ensure that all cable connections are
good.
•
If still failing, try resetting the BCR head (procedure on next page)
and test again.
If the BCR still cannot successfully scan any barcode, you should replace the
unit.

To confirm the BCR unit is in a known state
, we will reset it. Remove the
connector at J4 on the ADP-232 unit CPU Interface cable (E7200-61709).
Use a piece of bus wire and jumper pin 7 to pin 11 on the ADP unit
momentarily. A series of beeps should be heard. As soon as the beeps start
sounding, release the connection, then quickly jumper pin 7 to pin 11 again.
When correctly executed, a single long higher pitched beep will be
heard after the short beeps. This long beep confirms the unit has been
reset. If a long beep is not generated, reconnect the jumper and repeat
the procedure.
When successful, reconnect the cable connector to J4 on the
ADP-232 unit. Reference
