Why does the data from my Metrologic Quantum T MS3580 Barcode Reader look incorrect?
The data may appear incorrect if the scanner and host are not configured for the same interface. Verify that both the scanner and the host system share the same interface configuration.
How to troubleshoot power issues with my Metrologic Quantum T MS3580?
First, check the transformer, outlet, and power strip to ensure they are functioning correctly. Make sure the cable is securely plugged into the scanner. If you're still experiencing issues, it's possible that your host system isn't supplying enough current. In that case, use the power supply included with the scanner.
What to do if my Metrologic Barcode Reader locks up after scanning a barcode?
This issue may occur if the scanner is configured for host handshaking (ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF, or D/E) but isn't receiving the correct signal. Ensure that the host cable and host system properly support the configured handshaking protocol.
Why my Metrologic Barcode Reader powers on but doesn't beep?
If your unit powers up but doesn't beep, it could be due to two reasons. First, the beeper might be disabled, so you should enable it. Second, no tone might be selected, so you should select a tone.
What does it mean when my Metrologic Barcode Reader beeps 3 times during power up?
If the unit beeps 3 times during power up, it indicates a non-volatile RAM failure. In this case, contact a Metrologic service representative for assistance.
