  If your Datalogic Barcode Reader is consistently unable to read barcodes and returns 'No Read', ensure the scan line is correctly positioned and the barcode is centered. Use the Test mode in Genius™ to check the alignment. Also, verify that the reading distance is within the specified range, the tilt angle is appropriate, and the skew angle is less than 15° for direct reflection. Enable various Code Symbologies (excluding Pharmacode) with variable Min and Max lengths in the Code Definition settings. Finally, check the barcode quality. If issues persist, test with the BARCODE TEST CHART included with the product.

  If the “Power On”/”Ready” LED on your Datalogic Barcode Reader is not lit, check the power connection. If using a power adapter (like PG 6000), ensure it is connected to a wall outlet. If using rail power, verify the rail has power. If using CBX100, check that it has power by checking the switch and LED. Measure the voltage at pin 13 and pin 25 (for a 25-pin connector) or at the spring clamp Vdc and GND (for CBX).
