7-2 Chapter 7: Troubleshooting
Tones and Status Indicators
Your 7893 uses tones and LED Status Indicator light to identify problems. It performs
diagnostics that check various scanner functions at different times. Diagnostic checks are made
each time power is applied to the scanner and while the scanner is operating.
If your 7893 does not work properly, you might be able to determine the problem and
correct it without having to send the scanner in for repair. Use the following steps to help
isolate the problem.
1.
Identify exactly what the scanner is doing, or not doing. Pay particular attention to the
LED Status Indicator light and the tone.
2.
Verify that you are operating the scanner according to the procedures described in Chapter
4, Operating Your Scanner.
3.
Refer to the following table to see if your scanner condition is identified. If your specific
problem is not identified, follow your normal repair procedures. This may include sending
your 7893 in for repair.
