To troubleshoot a RayTek Scanner, begin by checking the wiring for correctly fitted connectors and any cable damage. Verify the scanner is getting power by checking the LED on the scanner's backside: a red LED indicates power for MP50 models, while a green LED indicates power for MP150 models. Also, check the rotation of the internal scanner mirror, assuming the power is on, by viewing or hearing it. Ensure the scanner and PC are powered from the same location. Prevent overheating by keeping the internal housing temperature below 60°C (140°F). Check for condensation inside the scanner housing, as this can cause a total outage. Mount the scanner and cables away from motors or heaters that produce strong electrical fields. Finally, make sure the measurement window is clean and the field of v...
