Troubleshooting (Advanced)
Barcode Reader (only for model with Barcode Reader)
Reading is not possible.
z
Confirm the reading angle.
z
Confirm that the barcode is readable (without damage, etc.).
z
Confirm the range for reading.
z
Be sure the reader is programmed to read the type of barcode you are reading.
z
The distance from the reader to the barcode is important. As a rule of thumb, a
farther distance should be used for a larger symbol to allow the raster pattern to
cover the symbol. In addition, a closer distance should be used for a thinner symbol.
z
Return the Barcode reader to the default setting.

The sensor does not enroll or authenti-
cate my fingerprint.
