Why Metrologic MK1690-61A38 Barcode Reader has no LEDs, beep or illumination?
The Metrologic Barcode Reader might not have LEDs, beep, or illumination because it is not receiving power. Check the transformer, outlet, and power strip, and ensure the cable is securely plugged into the scanner. Alternatively, if the scanner is powered by the host system, the host may not be supplying enough current, requiring a separate power supply.
What to do if Metrologic Barcode Reader powers up, but does not scan and/or beep?
If your Metrologic Barcode Reader powers up but doesn't scan or beep, the bar code symbology you're trying to scan might not be enabled. UPC/EAN, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, Codabar, and PDF are enabled by default; verify that the type of bar code being read is selected. Also, the scanner could be trying to scan a bar code that doesn't match the configured criteria, so verify that the bar code being scanned falls into the configured criteria (i.e., character length lock or minimum bar code length settings).
What to do if Metrologic Barcode Reader scans a bar code, but locks up after the first scan?
If your Metrologic Barcode Reader scans a bar code but locks up after the first scan and the white LED stays on, the scanner is likely configured to support some form of host handshaking but isn't receiving the signal. If the scanner is set up to support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, or XON/XOFF, verify that the host cable and host are supporting the handshaking properly.
What to do if Metrologic Barcode Reader scans, but the data transmitted to the host is incorrect?
If the Metrologic Barcode Reader scans, but the data transmitted to the host is incorrect, verify that the scanner’s data format matches that required by the host. Also, make sure that the scanner is connected to the proper host port.
Why Metrologic MK1690-61A38 beeps at some bar codes and not others?
The Metrologic Barcode Reader might beep for some bar codes but not others of the same symbology due to several reasons: 1. The print quality of the bar code may be poor. Check the print mode and settings. 2. The aspect ratio of the bar code might be out of tolerance. Check the print mode and settings. 3. The bar code may have been printed incorrectly; check for check digit/character/border problems. 4. The scanner might not be configured correctly for the bar code type; check if check digits are set properly. 5. The minimum symbol length setting may not work with the bar code; check if the correct minimum symbol length is set.
What to do if Metrologic MK1690-61A38 scans the bar code but there is no data?
If the Metrologic Barcode Reader scans the bar code but there is no data, make sure the scanner is configured for the appropriate mode.
What to do if Metrologic MK1690-61A38 Barcode Reader scans but the data is not correct?
If the Metrologic Barcode Reader scans, but the data is not correct, make sure that the proper PC type AT, or PS2 is selected. Verify the correct country code and data formatting are selected. You may also need to adjust the inter-character delay.
Why Metrologic Barcode Reader is transmitting each character twice?
If the Metrologic Barcode Reader is transmitting each character twice, increase the interscan code delay setting. Also, adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted; it may be necessary to try this in both settings.
Why Metrologic Barcode Reader shows alpha characters as lower case?
If alpha characters are displayed as lower case by the Metrologic Barcode Reader, enable the Caps Lock detect setting of the scanner to detect if the PC is operating in Caps Lock.
What to do if Metrologic Barcode Reader works except for a couple of characters?
If everything works except for a couple of characters on the Metrologic Barcode Reader, try operating the scanner in Alt mode, as these characters may not be supported by that country’s key look up table.
