What to do if Symbol Scanner doesn't transmit data to the host?
If the Symbol scanner isn't transmitting data to the host, ensure it's programmed for the correct host type by scanning the appropriate programming bar code. Check for loose interface cables and reconnect if necessary. If you hear specific beep patterns, adjust communication or conversion parameters, program ADF rules, or manage Code 39 buffering accordingly.
Why does my Symbol DS6708 display scanned data incorrectly on the host?
If your host displays scanned data incorrectly when using Symbol Scanner, ensure the scanner is programmed to work correctly with the host by scanning the appropriate host type programming bar code. For RS-232, match the scanner's communication parameters to the host's settings. If using a Keyboard Wedge, program the system for the correct keyboard type and turn off CAPS LOCK. Also, ensure you have programmed the proper editing options, such as UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion.
What to do if Symbol DS6708 Scanner decodes but doesn't transmit data?
If the Symbol scanner decodes a bar code but doesn't send the data to the host, make sure the scanner is programmed for the correct host type by scanning the appropriate programming bar code. Also, check that the interface cable is securely connected. If you hear specific beep patterns (4 long low beeps, 5 low beeps, low/high/low beeps, or high/low beeps), it indicates transmission, conversion, ADF rule, or Code 39 buffering errors, respectively. Address these by adjusting communication parameters, configuring conversion settings, programming ADF rules, or understanding Code 39 buffering.
Why does Symbol DS6708 Scanner display scanned data incorrectly on host?
If the host displays scanned data incorrectly when using your Symbol scanner, it might not be correctly programmed to work with the host. Try scanning the appropriate host type programming bar code. If you're using RS-232, ensure the scanner's communication parameters match the host's settings. For a Keyboard Wedge setup, program the system for the correct keyboard type and turn off CAPS LOCK. Also, ensure you have programmed the proper editing options, like UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion.
What to do if Symbol DS6708 emits aiming pattern but doesn't decode?
If the Symbol scanner emits an aiming pattern but doesn't decode the bar code, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure the scanner is programmed to read the specific bar code type you're scanning. If it is, the bar code itself might be unreadable, so try scanning test symbols of the same type to see if they are defaced. Finally, make sure the entire bar code symbol is within the scanner's aiming pattern.
