Problems Scanning Bar Code Labels (continued)

Problem

Solution

The integrated scanner does not read the bar code labels quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be faint or obscured.

When you release the Scan Button, the Good Read LED does not turn off.

The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of mild soap and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch the window.

The Good Read LED remains on if you configure the terminal to use edge triggering. If you configure the terminal for level triggering and the Good Read LED remains on, there may be a problem with the LED. Press the Scan Button again without scanning a bar code label. If the LED is still on, contact your local Intermec service representative.

The scanner will not read the bar code label.

You are scanning bar code labels, and the terminal appears to be operating slowly.

Make sure you aim the scanner beam so it crosses the entire bar code label in one pass.

The angle at which you are scanning the bar code label may not be working well, or you may be scanning the label “straight on.” Try scanning the bar code label again, but vary the scanning angle.

The bar code label print quality may be poor or unreadable. To check the quality of the bar code label, try scanning a bar code label that you know scans. Compare the two bar code labels to see if the bar code quality is too low. You may need to replace the label that you cannot scan.

Make sure the bar code symbology you are scanning is enabled. Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System to check the symbologies. On the Symbologies Menu, each symbology that is enabled has an asterisk (*) next to the name of the symbology. If your bar code symbology is disabled, enable it and then try scanning the bar code label again.

Make sure that the application you are running on the terminal is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to type this information instead of scanning it.

The terminal may be configured for the 5x6, 6x8, or 12x16 font type. These font type values may cause the 243X to scroll, and therefore operate, more slowly when it displays bar code values on the screen. Change the font type to a value other than 5x6, 6x8, or 12x16. For help, see “Display Font Type” or “Display Spacing” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual. If the terminal continues to operate slowly, contact your local Intermec service representative for help.
