Why does my Symbol LS1203 Barcode Reader emit low/high beeps?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader emits low/high beeps, it indicates an input error. This means an incorrect barcode or a Cancel barcode was scanned. To resolve this, scan the correct numeric barcodes within the programmed parameter range.
What does it mean when my Symbol LS1203 Barcode Reader emits four long low beeps?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader emits four long low beeps, a transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol, and the data is ignored. This often occurs if the unit is not properly configured, so check the option setting.
Why does my Symbol Barcode Reader emit frequent beeps (USB host interface only)?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader emits frequent beeps when using a USB host interface, it is normal and usually happens when the host cold boots. This occurs because the USB bus may cycle the scanner's power on and off more than once.
What does it mean when my Symbol Barcode Reader emits five long low beeps after a bar code is decoded?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader emits five long low beeps after decoding a barcode, a conversion or format error was detected. Ensure the scanner’s conversion parameters are properly configured. Also, an ADF rule might have been set up with characters that can't be sent for the selected host; in this case, change the ADF rule or switch to a host that supports the ADF rule. Alternatively, a barcode might have been scanned with characters that can't be sent for that host; try changing the barcode or switching to a host that can support the barcode.
Why does my Symbol LS1203 decode the bar code but not transmit the data to the host?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader decodes the barcode but doesn't transmit the data to the host, first check if the scanner is programmed for the correct host type by scanning the appropriate host type programming bar code. Also, check the interface cable for loose connections and re-connect the cable if necessary.
What to do if my Symbol Barcode Reader emits the laser but does not decode the bar code?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader emits the laser but doesn't decode the barcode, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the scanner is programmed to read the correct barcode type. If the barcode symbol is unreadable, scan test symbols of the same barcode type to see if the barcode is defaced. Adjust the distance between the scanner and the barcode, moving closer or further away. Make sure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol by adjusting the symbol's position until the scan line is within the acceptable aiming pattern.
Why is my Symbol Barcode Reader displaying scanned data incorrectly on the host?
If the host is displaying scanned data incorrectly from your Symbol Barcode Reader, first ensure that the proper host is selected by scanning the appropriate host type programming bar code. For RS-232 connections, set the scanner's communication parameters to match the host's settings. If you are using a USB HID keyboard or Keyboard Wedge configuration, program the system for the correct keyboard type and language, and turn off the CAPS LOCK key. Also, program the proper editing options, such as ADF or UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion. Check the scanner’s host type parameters or editing options.
What to do if nothing happens when I press the trigger button on my Symbol LS1203 Barcode Reader?
If nothing happens when you press the trigger button on your Symbol Barcode Reader, there could be a few reasons. First, check the system power and reconnect the power supply if your configuration needs one. Next, check all cable connections to make sure they are securely connected. Finally, ensure you are using the correct host interface cable; if not, connect the correct cable.
