LED and Beeper Indications

The scanner’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The following tables list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the scanner’s functions are programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.
