Prior to installation, we recommend that you connect the scanner as
shown below to ensure that the scanner is fully functional. The
scanner should emit a tone indicating that it has passed the Power-
Up Self-Test routine, and the green lamp will light continuously
indicating that the scanner is ready for operation. Since the scanner
is not connected to a host terminal, it may only read one or two
labels before it must be reset. This is normal because some terminal
interfaces require the scanner to store label data until the POS
terminal signals that it is ready to receive the data.
If your scanner uses the power-off-terminal (POT) option, you will
not be able to perform this operational test without connecting the
scanner to the host terminal. The POT option requires an interface
cable constructed to supply power as well as transmit label data.
If the scanner powers-up, but the green lamp begin flashing and the
speaker repeats a series of tones, go to the section titled,
Problem
Isolation .
