      iholmesAug 20, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits low/high beeps during programming, it indicates an input error or that a Cancel barcode was scanned. Scan the correct numeric barcodes within range for the parameter programmed.

      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits low/high/low/high beeps during programming, it means you're out of ADF parameter storage space. Erase all rules and re-program with shorter rules.

    What to do if Motorola Symbol DS9808 Barcode Reader aiming pattern does not appear?
    • B
      Brandon MeyerAug 30, 2025
      If the aiming pattern on your Motorola Barcode Reader doesn't appear when you press the trigger, check the following: ensure the digital scanner has power (re-connect the power supply if required), verify you're using the correct host interface cable (connect the correct host interface cable), and make sure all interface/power cables are securely connected (re-connect cables). Also, the digital scanner may be disabled (enable the digital scanner via the host interface for IBM 468x and USB IBM hand-held, IBM table top, and OPOS modes). If using RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, ensure the CTS line is asserted. Finally, the aiming pattern itself might be disabled (enable the aiming pattern).

    How to fix Motorola Symbol DS9808 that decodes but host displays data incorrectly?
    • K
      Kelly BurkeAug 31, 2025
      If your host displays scanned data incorrectly from the Motorola Barcode Reader, ensure the scanner is programmed to work with the host by scanning the appropriate host type programming bar code. For RS-232, set the scanner's communication parameters to match the host's settings. If you have a Keyboard Wedge configuration, program the system for the correct keyboard type and turn off the CAPS LOCK key. Also, program the proper editing options (e.g., UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion).

    Why Motorola Barcode Reader emits aiming pattern, but does not decode the bar code?
    • R
      Raymond HallSep 2, 2025
      If your Motorola Barcode Reader emits the aiming pattern but doesn't decode the barcode, it might be because the scanner isn't programmed for the correct barcode type (program the digital scanner to read that type of barcode). Alternatively, the barcode symbol may be unreadable (scan test symbols of the same barcode type to determine if the barcode is defaced), or the symbol is not completely inside the aiming pattern (move the symbol completely within the aiming pattern).

      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 the aiming pattern does not appear when pressing the trigger on my Motorola Symbol DS9808 Barcode Reader?
    • J
      Jacqueline SummersSep 8, 2025
      If the aiming pattern does not appear when pressing the trigger, consider the following: * Check if there is power to the digital scanner. If the configuration requires a power supply, re-connect the power supply. * Verify that the correct host interface cable is used and properly connected. * Ensure that all interface/power cables are securely re-connected. * If using IBM 468x and USB IBM hand-held, IBM table top, and OPOS modes, enable the digital scanner via the host interface. Otherwise, consult with the technical person in charge of scanning. * If using RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, ensure that the CTS line is asserted. * Confirm that the aiming pattern is enabled. If not, enable the aiming pattern.

    Why does my Motorola Symbol DS9808 display scanned data incorrectly on the host?
    • D
      Daniel LewisSep 10, 2025
      Incorrectly displayed scanned data can occur due to several reasons: * The digital scanner is not programmed to work with the host. Scan the appropriate host type programming bar code. * For RS-232, set the digital scanner's communication parameters to match the host's settings. * For a Keyboard Wedge configuration, program the system for the correct keyboard type, and turn off the CAPS LOCK key. * Program the proper editing options (e.g., UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion).
