Malfunctions in Reading mode: result output errors
¾
Check whether the "Device Ready" LED lights up.
If the LED does not light, see
.
CLX in stand-alone configuration
Here: number of bar codes to be read = 1
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 CLX outputs status ST=2 in the
reading result on the host interface (if
ST is enabled for the separator; this is
not selected in the default setting)
•
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 CLX type being
used.
•
With event-controlled focus control:
wrong focus position in Distance Config-
uration choosen.
•
With event-controlled focus control:
trigger source parameterized incorrectly.
•
The reading angles at which the bar code
appears to the CLX are too large.
•
Synchronize read with presence of an
object in reading field. See
Malfunctions in Reading mode: reading
trigger errors, Page 8-10
.
•
Align CLX. Is bar code at center of scan
line? Check the reading quality with the
"CLV-Setup" software. Choose P

•
Check whether reading distance of bar
code is in the specified reading range?
•
Present a bar code with an acceptable
module width. See
