Visual Indicators

 

Blue LED is located near the bottom corner of the vertical output

 

window on the MS2420/MS2430. When the scanner is ON, the

 

flashing or constant, illumination of the LED indicates the status of

 

the MS2420/MS2430 and the current scan. There is an additional

 

amber LED next to the scale zero symbol on all MS2420/MS2430

 

models that include a scale (see Figure 32).

 

No Blue LED

 

The blue LED will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving

 

power from the host or transformer. It is also not illuminated when

 

all lasers are turned off for any reason.

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.

Steady Blue

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 on until the data can be transmitted.

Flashing Blue

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

or

If the unit is in sleep mode, the blue LED will flash once every 15 seconds.

This indicates there is an error active on the diagnostic indicator display (see Error Codes on page 40). The scanner may continue to operate depending on the type of error.

Blue LED Off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.

Steady Amber LED

The amber LED is illuminated when the scale is at zero.
