What to do if my Honeywell Barcode Reader scans but there is no data?
If your Honeywell Barcode Reader scans the bar code but there is no data, the unit’s configuration may not be correct. Make sure the scanner is configured for the appropriate mode.
Why does my Honeywell Barcode Reader scan but transmit incorrect data to the host?
If your Honeywell Barcode Reader scans, but the data transmitted to the host is incorrect, it may be due to a mismatch between the unit’s data format and the host system’s requirements. Verify the unit’s data format matches what the host requires and ensure the unit is connected to the correct host port.
What to do if my Honeywell MS5145 – 00 powers up but doesn't scan or beep?
If your Honeywell Barcode Reader powers up but doesn't scan or beep, it could be due to a couple of reasons: * The unit might be trying to scan a symbology that is not enabled. By default, UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, and Codabar are enabled. Verify that the type of bar code being read has been selected. * The bar code being scanned might not meet the configured criteria for character length lock or minimum length. Check that the bar code being scanned falls into the configured criteria. The scanner defaults to a minimum of three characters for the bar code.
What to do if my Honeywell Barcode Reader scans a bar code but locks up after the first scan?
If your Honeywell Barcode Reader scans a bar code but locks up after the first scan and the red LED stays on, the unit might be configured to support some form of host handshaking but isn't receiving the signal. If the unit is set up to support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF, or D/E, verify that the host cable and host are properly supporting the handshaking.
Why does my Honeywell MS5145 – 00 beep for some bar codes but not others of the same type?
If your Honeywell Barcode Reader beeps at some bar codes but not others of the same bar code symbology, several factors could be at play: * The bar code may have been printed incorrectly; check for check digit/character/or border problems. * The minimum symbol length setting does not work with the bar code; check if the correct minimum symbol length is set.
