The speaker produces an audible indication of scanner operation. It
sounds a normal tone, an alternate tone, or a repeating series of
tones.
N

T

The normal tone sounds when a barcode label is recognized, its
content decoded and the data is transmitted to the host.
A
LTERNATE
T
ONE
The alternate tone sounds in three different situations.
• In normal mode when the barcode has been read but the
scanner is not programmed to transmit that symbology
to the host.
• When the operator switch is held down to enter Volume
Selection, the second tone you hear is the alternate tone
indicating that it is time to release the switch.
• When in Programming Mode, any programming label
that your scanner cannot use (e.g. Baud Rate for any
interface other than RS-232) is rejected and the alternate
tone is sounded.
E
RROR
T
ONE
The error tone is a repeating series of tones alerting the operator of
possible system or component failure.
