Why does my Symbol Scanner emit 4 short high beeps?
If the Symbol scanner emits four short high beeps during a decode attempt, it indicates that the scanner has not completed USB initialization. Wait a few seconds and try scanning again.
How to fix the aiming pattern not appearing on my Symbol DS6708 Scanner?
If the aiming pattern isn't appearing on your Symbol scanner when you press the trigger, first ensure the scanner is receiving power by reconnecting the power supply if needed. Verify that you are using the correct host interface cable and that all cables are securely connected. Confirm that the scanner is enabled via the host interface (for Synapse or IBM 468x mode) or consult your technical support. Also, check if the aiming pattern is disabled and enable it in settings. If using RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, assert the CTS line.
What to do if Symbol Scanner emits aiming pattern, but does not decode the bar code?
If your Symbol scanner emits an aiming pattern but doesn't decode the barcode, ensure the scanner is programmed for the correct barcode type (refer to Chapter 13, Symbologies). Try scanning test symbols to check if the barcode is damaged. Make sure the entire barcode symbol is within the aiming pattern.
How to fix Symbol Scanner when aiming pattern doesn't appear?
If the Symbol scanner's aiming pattern doesn't appear when you press the trigger, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the scanner has power; if a power supply is needed, reconnect it. Second, verify you're using the correct host interface cable and that all cables are firmly connected. The scanner might also be disabled, so enable it via the host interface (for Synapse or IBM 468x mode) or consult your technical support. For RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, ensure the CTS line is asserted. Lastly, the aiming pattern itself might be disabled, so enable it in the settings.
What to do if Symbol DS6708 Scanner emits 4 short high beeps?
If the Symbol scanner emits 4 short high beeps during a decode attempt, it means the scanner hasn't completed USB initialization. Wait a few seconds and try scanning again.
Why Symbol DS6708 emits low/high beeps during programming?
If the Symbol scanner emits low/high beeps during programming, it indicates an input error or that the Cancel bar code was scanned. Make sure to scan the correct numeric bar codes within the acceptable range for the parameter you're programming.
Why does Symbol DS6708 emit low/high/low/high beeps during programming?
If the Symbol scanner emits low/high/low/high beeps during programming, it indicates that you're out of ADF parameter storage space or Synapse parameter storage space. To fix this, erase all existing rules and reprogram with shorter rules. Alternatively, scan the Set Synapse Defaults bar code for cables no longer in use and reprogram the scanner for the current host interface.
What does it mean when Symbol DS6708 Scanner emits low/high/low beeps?
The Symbol scanner emitting low/high/low beeps indicates that the Code 39 buffer is being cleared. This is normal when scanning the Code 39 Buffering Clear Buffer bar code or when attempting to transmit an empty Code 39 buffer.
Why Symbol DS6708 Scanner emits beep after changing USB host type?
The Symbol scanner emitting a power-up beep after changing the USB host type is normal. This occurs because the USB bus re-established power to the scanner.
Why Symbol DS6708 emits one high beep when not in use?
The Symbol scanner emitting one high beep when not in use is normal in RS-232 mode if a character was received and the Beep on option is enabled.
