LED and Beeper Indicators

The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green 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.
