Maintenance & Technical Specifications 3 - 3
Digital scanner decodes bar 
code, but does not transmit the 
data to the host.
Digital scanner is not programmed for 
the correct host type.
Scan the appropriate host type 
programming bar code. See the 
chapter corresponding to the host type.
Interface cable is loose. Re-connect the cable.
If the digital scanner emits 4 long low 
beeps, a transmission error occurred.
Set the scanner's communication 
parameters to match the host's setting.
If the digital scanner emits 5 low 
beeps, a conversion or format error 
occurred.
Configure the digital scanner's 
conversion parameters properly.
If the digital scanner emits 
low/high/low beeps, it detected an 
invalid ADF rule.
Program the correct ADF rules. Refer 
to the Advanced Data Formatting 
Programmer Guide.
If the digital scanner emits high/low 
beeps, the scanner is buffering Code 
39 data.
Normal scanning a Code 39 bar code 
and the Code 39 Buffering option is 
enabled.
Host displays scanned data 
incorrectly.
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).
Digital scanner emits 
high/high/high/low beeps when 
not in use.
RS-232 receive error. Normal during host reset. Otherwise, 
set the digital scanner's RS-232 parity 
to match the host setting.
Digital scanner emits low/high 
beeps during programming.
Input error or 
Cancel
 bar code was 
scanned.
Scan the correct numeric bar codes 
within range for the parameter 
programmed.
Digital scanner emits 
low/high/low/high beeps during 
programming.
Out of ADF parameter storage space. Erase all rules and re-program with 
shorter rules.
