Visual Indicators
There is a red LED and a green LED located on the scanner. When the scanner is on,
the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs alert you to the status of the scan and
scanner.
No Red or Green LED
There are two reasons why the LEDs will not be illuminated. First, if the scanner is
receiving power and the LEDs are not on, then the scanner has remained dormant for a
specified period of time and the laser has turned off. To reactivate the unit, wave an
object in front of the IR sensor. Secondly, if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer, then the LEDs will not turn on.
Steady Green
When the laser is on, the green LED is also on. This occurs when an object is in the
scan field. The green LED will remain on until the IR time-out has elapsed or until the
scanner is turned off.
Steady Green; Red Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash followed by one
beep. If you do not see the red LED flash or the scanner beep once, then the bar code
has not been successfully read.
Steady Red and Green
After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. When the host
is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s red LED will remain on until the
data can be transmitted.
Alternating Red and Green
This indicates the scanner is in program mode.
Steady Red
This indicates the scanner is in ScanSet mode.
Flashing Red
This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for
repair at an authorized service center.
