The unit is in Power Save Mode. During Power Save Mode, the laser will be off and the blue LED will not illuminate.

Steady Blue LED

When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

Steady Blue LED to OFF

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s blue LED will remain off until the data can be transmitted.

Single Blue LED Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the blue LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the blue LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

The blue LED will also flash once while the EAS is in deactivation mode.

Flashing Blue LED

This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A flashing blue LED with razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned during this mode.
