- AC outlet
Power-up
Scanner power-up is signified by any or
all of the following:
- Illumination LEDs turn on
- Status indicator LEDs turn on
- Speaker sounds tone(s)
- Remote display shows message
- A single red dot is visible on the 7-
segment display
Selftest Failure
If the scanner fails its Selftest, the
following takes place:
- Speaker sounds a tone at the lowest
value for approx. 3 seconds.
- Green and Yellow LEDs flash on and
off alternately.
- 7-segment display shows a code (1 to
C) to indicate the failure.
Consult the Selftest flowchart if you're
unsure the unit has passed Selftest.
Flashing Green LED
If the green good read indicator LEDs
are flashing slowly, the scanner is most
likely in Sleep Mode. Press and release
the scanner control button or wave your
hand in front of the vertical window to
"wake-up" the scanner.
Flashing green LEDs can also mean the
scanner has been disabled by the POS
terminal. To exit this mode, cycle power
or have the terminal re-enable the
scanner.
For units using an AC/DC adapter, verify that...
1. AC power cord is connected to a functional AC outlet.
2. IEC connectors are firmly connected.
3. DC power cord is firmly connected to scanner.
If your unit is a model which receives Power Off the
Terminal (POT), verify that the I/F cable is securely
connected at both ends.
