      If the laser or imager comes out from the scan windows of your Generalscan Barcode Reader, but there is no Bluetooth output, ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of barcode being scanned. Also, confirm that the output mode is set to Bluetooth. Try moving the scanner closer to or further from the barcode to see if that resolves the issue.
