Visual Indicators
There are visual indicators to show the status of the scanner. These indicators
are dependent upon the decoder being used. The function of these indicators
may not work as described below if the decoder pinouts and software controls
do not match the pin out signals as defined in the pin assignment section of this
manual.
There are a red LED and a green LED at the top of the scanner. When the
scanner is on, the flashing or steady activity of the LEDs indicates the status of
the scan and scanner.
No Red or Green
Illumination of the LEDs will not occur if the scanner
has remained dormant for a specified time and the
scanner is not receiving power from the host. To
reactivate the unit, direct the output window up then
down toward the object.

once. After the scanner performs this startup sequence,
the red LED will remain on for a specified time show-
ing that the scanner is ready to scan. If an object is not
presented to the scanner, the red light will turn off.
Steady Red
When the laser is on, the red LED will be on. This
occurs when an object is in the scan field. If the scanner
cannot detect a bar code within approximately 2.5
seconds, the red LED will shut off indicating that the
laser is no longer on.

Repetitive
When the red LED flashes several times while it rests

upon a stationary surface, then an object is within the
scan field and is activating the IR sensor. To eliminate
this disturbance, direct the scan window toward a diff-
erent location.
