Is the scan line correctly positioned?
•
Place barcode in the center of scan line and
run TEST MODE (selectable by Genius™ as
Operating Modes).
If you still have troubles, check the following:
•
Is the reading distance within that allowed
(see reading diagrams)?
•
Is the Tilt angle too big?
•
Is the Skew angle less than 10° (direct
reflection)?
•
Choose the CODE tab and enable
different code types (except
Pharmacode). LENGTH = Variable.
•
Is the barcode quality sufficient?
•
If you had no success, try to perform the test
using the BARCODE TEST CHART included
with the product.

the host.
•
Is serial cable connected?
•
Is correct wiring respected?
•
If using MAIN RS232 or RS485 interface, is
the reference ground connected to proper
SGND Main Isolated (also referred to as
GND_ISO)? Be careful that it is not
completely different from GND power ground.

If using C-BOX 100, be sure the RS485
termination switch is OFF positioned.
•
Are serial host settings equivalent to serial
