Scanning 2-3
Introduction
This chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, scanning techniques, general instructions and tips about scanning, and decode zone
diagrams.
Beeper Definitions
The scanner issues different beep sequences and patterns to indicate status. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both
normal scanning and while programming the scanner. (For additional beeper definitions, see Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-5.
Table 2-1. Standard Beeper Definitions
Beeper Sequence Indication
Standard Use
Low/medium/high beeps Power up.
High beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).
Four long low beeps 1. A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a
unit is not properly configured. Check option setting.
2. When communicating with a cradle, the cradle acknowledges receipt of data. If the
acknowledgment is not received, this transmission error beep sequence sounds. Data may
still have been received by the host. Check the host system for receipt of transmitted data. If
data was not received by the host, re-scan the bar code.
Five low long beeps Conversion or format error.
Low beep Scanner detects power when inserted into a cradle.
Note: This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled (see Beep on Insertion on page 5-7).
Low/high/low/high beeps Out of memory - unable to store a new bar code.
Low/high/low beeps ADF transmit error.
High/high/high/low beeps RS-232 receive error.
Parameter Menu Scanning
Long low/long high beeps Input error, incorrect bar code or Cancel scanned, wrong entry, incorrect bar code programming
sequence; remain in program mode.
High/low beeps Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using bar code keypad.
High/low/high/low beeps Successful program exit with change in the parameter setting.
Long low/long high/long low/long high beeps Out of host parameter storage space. Scan Default Parameters on page 5-5.
Wireless Operation
High/low/high/low beeps Pairing bar code scanned.
Low/high beeps Bluetooth connection established.
High/low beeps Bluetooth disconnection event.
Note: When connected to a remote device using SPP or HID, if a disconnect beep sequence
sounds immediately after a bar code is scanned, check the host device for receipt of transmitted
data. It is possible that an attempt was made to transmit the last bar code scanned after the
connection was lost.
Long low/long high beeps Page timeout; remote device is out of range/not powered.
Long low/long high/long low/long high beeps Connection attempt was rejected by remote device.
Code 39 Buffering
High/low beeps New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer.
