210 Voyager 1470/1472 User Guide
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
• The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
• Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a
key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
• You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to
output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data
into your application. Refer to
Prefix/Suffix Overview beginning on page 93 for
further information.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if you
want the factory default settings restored, refer to
Reset the Custom Defaults on
page 175.
