Visual Indicators

The imager has blue and white LED

 

indicators surrounding the button on the

 

top of the imager. When the imager is on,

 

the intensity of the LED and the flashing or

 

stationary activity of the LEDs, indicates

 

the status of the current scan and the

 

diagnostic imager.

Figure 19.

No LEDs are Illuminated

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the imager is not receiving power from the host or transformer.

Steady Low Intensity Blue

The imager is in stand-by mode. Present a bar code to the imager and the blue LED will switch to a high intensity blue when the IR detects the object.

Steady High Intensity Blue

The high intensity blue LED is illuminated when the imager is active and attempting to decode a barcode.

Single White Flash

When the imager successfully reads a bar code the imager will beep once and the white LED will flash once indicating data has been transmitted successfully. The blue LED will return to the low intensity state if no other objects are presented in the active scan area.

If the imager does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady White

When the imager successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.

Note: After a successful scan, the imager transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the imager when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the imager’s white LED will remain on until the data can

be transmitted.

Alternating Flashing of Blue and White

This indicates the imager is in configuration mode. A short razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode.
