    What to do if the power LED is not lit on my Datalogic Laboratory Equipment?
    • U
      umasonSep 13, 2025
      If the POWER LED on your Datalogic Laboratory Equipment is not lit, check the following: * Is the power connected? * If using a power adapter (like PG6000), is it connected to the wall outlet? * If using rail power, does the rail have power? * If using CBX, does it have power (check switch and LED)? Also, check if you're referring to the M12 17-pin connector or the CBX spring clamp connectors. Measure the voltage either at pin 1 and pin 2 (for the 17-pin connector) or at the spring clamp Vdc and GND (for CBX).

    Why is my Datalogic Laboratory Equipment reader not transmitting data to the host?
    • T
      trichardsonSep 12, 2025
      If your Datalogic Laboratory Equipment reader isn't transmitting to the host, verify the serial cable wiring is correct. If using CBX, ensure the RS422 termination switch is OFF. Confirm that the host serial port settings match the reader's. In DL.CODE, the COM LED Function can be configured to indicate Main Serial Port TX or Main Serial Port RX.

    What to do if my Datalogic Laboratory Equipment reader always transmits a 'No Read Message'?
    • P
      Pamela MorenoSep 9, 2025
      If your Datalogic Laboratory Equipment reader consistently transmits a 'No Read Message', try the following: 1. Run the Rapid Configuration procedure. 2. Position the reader as described in "Mounting And Positioning Matrix 220". 3. Tune the Acquisition Delay on Trigger if the moving code is out of the reader's field of view. 4. Set the Continuous Operating Mode if no external trigger source is available. 5. Tune the Image Settings to improve the code image quality. 6. Check the parameter settings in the Advanced Setup step for 2D Codes, 1D Codes, and Postal Codes. 7. View the full-resolution code image to check the printing or marking quality.
