Operation LED and Beeper Indications The scanner’s beeper sounds and its two-color LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the scanner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications, such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels. Table 1. Beeper Functions Beeper Sequence Indication S

Operation Scanning To scan a bar code: 1. Install and program the scanner (See “Setting Up the Scanner” on page 6.). For assistance, contact Technical Support. 2. Ensure all connections are secure. (See the host chapter for the scanner.) 3. Aim the scanner at the bar code. 4. If the scanner is in Trigger Single Mode, press the trigger button. (In Stand Mode, no trig- ger button press is required. The scanner laser is in constant ON mode.) Figure 4. Scanning With/Without the Trigger Trigger Sing

Aiming Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code when scanning. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code can result in specular reflection, which can in turn cause difficulties with decoding. Tilt the scanner to avoid the dead zone (indicated by an ‘X’ in Figure 6) up to 65 degrees upwards or downwards. Figure 6. Aiming to Avoid the Dead Zone 65° 65° Product Reference Guide 13
