Diagnostics LED Flashes – Error detected during Self-Test

The Diagnostics LED shows the scanner’s Self-Test result status. An
unlit Diagnostics LED means that the scanner’s Self-Test procedures
encountered no errors.

If the Diagnostics LED flashes, an error was discovered during Self-
Test. Open WIDEsystem (scanner icon on your system tray) and
select the Status tab to view additional information about the error.

Both Diagnostic LED and Wait LED Flash – Maintenance needed

Simultaneous flashing by both the Diagnostic LED and the Wait LED
may mean that the scanning area needs cleaning and the cameras
calibrated. See the section on "Maintenance" for instructions.

If the Diagnostic and the Wait LEDs continue to flash after scanner
maintenance, there may be camera position errors that require
professional technical service.
