  If the LED is on but the Datalogic Barcode Reader isn't decoding, consider these possibilities: * The reader might not be programmed for the bar code type you're scanning. Ensure it's properly programmed. * The bar code label could be damaged or unreadable. Check the label's condition and try scanning a different bar code. * The distance between the reader and the bar code might be incorrect. Adjust the distance by moving the reader closer or further away from the bar code.
