Verifying

Scanner-to-

Base Station

Communications

Point the linked scanner at a sample bar code from the back pages of this manual, and pull the trigger (see How to Scan for tips on scanning bar codes). Watch the TX/RX (transmit/receive) indicator LED on the Base Station and/or scanner green LED while scanning the bar code. The LEDs should flash momentarily as the two devices communicate. If no communication is indicated, refer to the troubleshooting section of the Systems Manual.

When the scanner is programmed to do so, communication can also be indicated by a second "acknowledgement" tone1 that is sounded after a "good read" tone. If a transmission error beep (warble) is heard follow- ing a "good read" tone instead of the single acknowledgement tone, communication between the devices may have failed2. Refer to the sec- tions Using the PowerScan RF System, and Troubleshooting for possible remedies, should this occur.

 

Mexico ONLY

 

Operation in Mexico must voluntarily be restricted

 

to channels 1,2,8 and 9. See RF Channel Selection

 

in the Systems Manual to set channels. The fre-

quency range on channels 3 through 7 have been

allocated by Mexico government standards.

 

1.See LED and Beeper Indications for more details about beeper signals.

2.Other reasons for a "warble" are that the Base Station may be configured differently than the scan- ner, or that the system’s interface doesn’t support the symbology (bar code type) you’re trying to scan.

Datalogic Scanning XLR, SR, HD manual Verifying Scanner-to Base Station, Mexico only, Communications

HD, LR, XLR, SR specifications

Datalogic Scanning has long been a leader in providing advanced imaging solutions, and its product lineup, which includes the SR, XLR, LR, and HD models, showcases the company's commitment to enhancing productivity and efficiency in various industries. Each of these scanners comes equipped with distinct features and technologies that make them suitable for different applications, from manufacturing to retail and warehousing.

The SR (Standard Range) scanner is designed for high-performance scanning in varying conditions. It supports omnidirectional scanning, facilitating faster checkout processes in retail environments. The SR model boasts advanced image processing technology that ensures accurate reading of damaged or poorly printed barcodes, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency. Its lightweight design enhances ease of use for extended periods, making it a favorite among store staff.

The XLR (Extended Long Range) version caters to industries that require barcode scanning from a distance. It is engineered for applications in large warehouses or manufacturing settings where items may be stacked high or stored in hard-to-reach locations. The XLR scanner supports both long-range and short-range scanning with exceptional precision, ensuring quick data capture even from distances of up to several meters. This flexibility significantly enhances productivity by reducing the need for workers to physically lift heavy items to scan barcodes.

The LR (Long Range) scanner is a versatile solution that strikes a balance between long-range and short-range capabilities. It is particularly effective in environments such as distribution centers, where both near-field and distant scanning tasks are frequent. With powerful imaging technology and excellent motion tolerance, operators can achieve high first-pass read rates, which is crucial for efficient sorting and inventory management.

Finally, the HD (High Density) scanner is designed to facilitate the reading of high-density barcodes commonly found on electronic parts and small merchandise. Its state-of-the-art sensor technology allows it to decode multiple barcode formats with speed and accuracy. The HD model is equipped with superior optics and illumination to ensure clear scanning, even under challenging lighting conditions.

In conclusion, Datalogic Scanning's SR, XLR, LR, and HD models represent a robust suite of scanning solutions tailored to meet diverse user needs in various industries. With advanced imaging capabilities, ergonomic designs, and superior performance features, these scanners stand out as essential tools for modern businesses looking to optimize their operations and enhance customer service.
