TROUBLESHOOTING
No power to scanner
Check system power;
ensure power supply,
if required, is connected
Incorrect interface cable used
Ensure that correct
interface cable is used
Ensure all cable connections
are secure
Scan appropriate host parameter bar codes Ensure all cable connections are secure
Interface/power cables are loose
Scanner not working
Bar code unreadable
Ensure bar code is not defaced;
try scanning test bar code of same
bar code type
Distance between scanner
and bar code incorrect
Move scanner closer to
or further from bar code
Scanner not programmed
for bar code type
Ensure scanner is programmed
to read type of bar code being
scanned
Scanner not decoding bar code
Scanner not programmed for correct host interface Interface cable is loose
Scanner decoding bar code, but data not transmitting to host
Scanner not programmed for correct host interface

    Why does Motorola Barcode Reader emit one high beep when idle?
    • C
      Christina LoganSep 7, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits one high beep when not in use, it's normal if the scanner is in RS-232 mode, a character was received, and the Beep on option is enabled.

    What does it mean when Motorola Barcode Reader emits low/high beeps during programming?
    • P
      ppruittAug 22, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits low/high beeps during programming, it means there was an input error or the Cancel barcode was scanned. Scan the correct numeric barcodes within range for the parameter programmed.

    • A
      Alexandra KingSep 5, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits low/high/low beeps, it indicates that you are clearing the Code 39 buffer. This is normal when scanning the Code 39 Buffering Clear Buffer bar code or upon attempt to transmit an empty Code 39 buffer.

    Why does Motorola Barcode Reader beep multiple times on power-up?
    • S
      Shawn SchmidtSep 3, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits the short low/short medium/short high beep sequence (power-up beep sequence) more than once, it's because the USB bus may be cycling the scanner's power on and off repeatedly. This is normal during host reset.

    Why does Motorola Barcode Reader emit high/high/high/low beeps when not in use?
    • A
      Autumn BrownSep 2, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits high/high/high/low beeps when not in use, it indicates an RS-232 receive error. This is normal during host reset. Otherwise, set the scanner's RS-232 parity to match the host setting.

    Why does Motorola Barcode Reader emit 4 short high beeps during decode?
    • E
      Erik RodriguezSep 1, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits 4 short high beeps during a decode attempt, it indicates that the scanner has not completed USB initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again.

    What to do if Motorola Barcode Reader emits aiming pattern but doesn't decode?
    • C
      Claudia GillespieAug 30, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits an aiming pattern but doesn't decode the barcode, consider the following: * The scanner might not be programmed for the correct barcode type. Program the scanner to read that type of barcode. * The barcode symbol might be unreadable. Scan test symbols of the same barcode type to determine if the barcode is defaced. * The symbol may not be completely inside the aiming pattern. Move the symbol completely within the aiming pattern.

    Why does Motorola Barcode Reader display scanned data incorrectly?
    • M
      Michelle SavageAug 29, 2025
      If your host displays scanned data incorrectly from your Motorola Barcode Reader, it could be due to the following reasons: * The scanner is not programmed to work with the host. Scan the appropriate host type programming bar code. * For RS-232, the scanner's communication parameters might not match the host's settings. Set the scanner's communication parameters to match the host's settings. * The editing options might be incorrect. Program the proper editing options (e.g., UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion).

    How to fix Motorola Symbol DS6708 aiming pattern not appearing?
    • N
      nicole92Aug 27, 2025
      If the aiming pattern doesn't appear when you press the trigger on your Motorola Barcode Reader, consider these potential causes: * There may be no power to the scanner. If your configuration requires a power supply, reconnect it. * An incorrect host interface cable might be in use. Connect the correct cable. * Interface/power cables may be loose. Re-connect them. * The scanner could be disabled. Consult with the technical person in charge of scanning. * If using RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, CTS may not be asserted. Assert the CTS line. * The aiming pattern may be disabled. Enable the aiming pattern.

    Why Motorola Symbol DS6708 emits low/high beeps during programming?
    • L
      Leah ColonAug 26, 2025
      The Motorola Barcode Reader emits low/high beeps during programming due to an input error or because the Cancel bar code was scanned. To resolve this, scan the correct numeric bar codes within the valid range for the parameter you are programming.
