Chapter 8 Beeper, Indicator LED, Marker Beam, and Illumination LEDs
8.1 Beeper
(1) Beeping
The scanner emits a short or long beeps, once or a couple of times as described below.
The beeper emits
a short beep
when:
- the scanner has read a code successfully,
- code data read matches the master data in the data verification mode,
- the scanner has read a split QR Code symbol,
- the "Start setting" or "End setting" code is read (3 beeps) or the parameter setting QR Code symbols are read (1
beep) from the QR-coded parameter menu (given in Chapter 12),
- the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) starts up or accepts new settings (3 beeps), or
-
the scanner has read a batch-process QR Code symbol generated with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D) (3 beeps).
The beeper emits
a long beep
when:
- code data read does not match the master data in the data verification mode,
- the scanner has read split QR Code symbols in edit mode and the accumulated data exceeds 8 kilobytes,
- a master code has the wrong number of digits during registration of master data,
- a code other than a parameter setting code is read during parameter setting by the QR-coded parameter menu,
- a transmission error or timeout occurred when the scanner was communicating with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D),
- the encryption key of data read does not match the one configured in the scanner in SQRC scanning (when the "data
transmission after mismatch of encryption key" is disabled),
- a communications error has occurred, or
- an invalid control command is received.
When the scanner is turned on, the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) provides a choice of beeper ON/OFF
(default: ON), but does not provide a choice of beeper tone.
You can disable the beeper using the QR-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)*. In
any of the following cases, however, the beeper sounds regardless of that beeper setting:
- when you make settings by scanning the QR-coded parameter menu,
- when the scanner receives a beeper-ON command from the host computer,
- when the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) starts up or any setting you have made is established,
- when the scanner reads a batch-process QR Code symbol, and
- when the parameter values are saved by a PW command (refer to Appendix 2).
(2) Adjusting the beeper volume
You can adjust the beeper volume to three levels--high, medium and low--using the QR-coded parameter menu or
configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The factory default is High.
Each time the "Beeper volume" QR Code symbol is read, the beeper volume cycles as shown below.
Even if the scanner is turned off, this setting will be retained.
High
Medium
Low
