What to do if I get Error 30-140 on my Contex CHAMELEON 36 Barcode Reader?

  Error 30 is often caused by dirt on the Glass Plate or the White Background Plate. The first step should be to make sure that these parts are clean. Other possible solutions include checking the Light Profiles using SCANtest 6, Test 9. If the Light Profile is distorted, the cause may be incorrect Vertical Alignment. You can run SCANtest 6, Test 11 or Scanner Maintenance. Lamp issues, corrupted Basic Calibration, or a defective CBE/CBF-Board could also be the cause. It is also possible to override Error 30 from WIDEimage and continue with the scanning.
