Typical Programming Errors and Solutions

This section lists several concrete examples of programming errors, their causes, and sample solutions to these problems.

Problem:

The scanner does not scan correctly when a scanner with a different maximum scannable area is connected.

Cause

You relied on the default maximum scannable area setting instead of setting the scanning area with the ESC A command. The maximum scannable area differs by scanner model.

Solution

Always set the scanning area with the ESC A command.

Use the ESC I command to determine the current scanner’s maximum scannable area, and make sure the parameters in the ESC A command do not exceed those values.
