Symptoms 

Possible Causes 

Solution 

The unit powers 

up, but does not 

beep when bar 

code is scanned. 

The beeper is disabled 

and no tone is selected. 

Enable the beeper and select 

a tone. 

 

The unit powers 

up, but does not 

scan and/or 

beep. 

The bar code symbology 

trying to be scanned is 

not enabled. 

UPC/EAN, Code 39, 

interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, 

Code 128, Codabar and PDF 

are enabled by default.  Verify 

that the type of bar code being 

read has been selected. 

 

The unit powers 

up, but does not 

scan and/or 

beep. 

The scanner is trying 

to scan a bar code that 

does not match the 

configured criteria. 

Verify that the bar code being 

scanned falls into the configured 

criteria (i.e. character length 

lock or minimum bar code 

length settings)

.

 

 

The following item is only relevant for RS232 and Serial USB Interfaces. 

The unit scans 

a bar code, but 

locks up after 

the first scan 

and the white 

LED stays on. 

The scanner is configured 

to support some form of 

host handshaking but is 

not receiving the signal. 

If the scanner is setup to 

support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, 

or XON/XOFF, verify that the 

host cable and host are 

supporting the handshaking 

properly. 

 

The unit scans, 

but the data 

transmitted to 

the host is 

incorrect. 

The scanner’s data 

format does not match 

the host system 

requirements. 

Verify that the scanner’s data 

format matches that required 

by the host.  Make sure that 

the scanner is connected to 

the proper host port.
