Malfunction
Possible cause
Remedy
1. The "Read Result" LED (default setting:
Good Read) does not light up at the end
of the reading pulse.
– The "Result 2" switching output
(default setting: Good Read) is not
outputting a pulse
– The CLV outputs status ST=2 in the
reading result on the host interface
(outputting of ST disabled by default)
– The CLV outputs the message "no
code" in the reading result of the
terminal interface
•
Read not successful, since there was no
bar code in the reading field during the
reading pulse.
•
Scan line positioned incorrectly.
•
Bar code presented at incorrect reading
distance.
•
The presented bar code’s module width
cannot be read by the CLV type being
used.
