What to do if the Symbol LS1900 Barcode Reader laser is on but not decoding?
If the Symbol Barcode Reader's laser turns on but fails to decode the symbol, it might not be programmed for the correct barcode type. Ensure the scanner is programmed to read the specific barcode you are using. Alternatively, the barcode itself may be unreadable. Inspect the symbol for any damage and try scanning known good test symbols of the same barcode type.
What to do if scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host with Symbol LS1900 Barcode Reader?
If the scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host, ensure the proper host is selected and that the Symbol Barcode Reader is programmed to work with the host. Check LS1900 Series host type parameters or editing options. For RS-232 connections, verify that the scanner’s communication parameters match the host’s settings. For a keyboard wedge configuration, make sure the system is programmed for the correct keyboard type, and the CAPS LOCK key is off. Also, confirm that editing options, like UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion, are correctly programmed.
Why does the laser come on, but the Symbol Barcode Reader doesn't decode the symbol?
If the laser comes on, but the symbol does not decode on your Symbol Barcode Reader, ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code you are scanning. Check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced. Try scanning test symbols of the same bar code type. Also, adjust the distance between the scanner and the bar code by moving the scanner closer to the bar code.
What to do if nothing happens when following operating instructions for Symbol Barcode Reader?
If nothing happens when you follow the operating instructions for the Symbol Barcode Reader, check the system power and ensure the power supply is connected if your configuration requires one. Also, check for loose cable connections.
How to fix a Symbol LS1900 Barcode Reader when the symbol is decoded, but not transmitted to the host?
If the symbol is decoded but not transmitted to the host from your Symbol Barcode Reader, scan the appropriate host type bar code to ensure the scanner is programmed for the correct host type.
What to do if the Symbol LS1900 laser comes on but doesn't decode the symbol?
If the laser is on but the symbol isn't decoding, the Symbol Barcode Reader may not be programmed for the correct bar code type. Ensure it's programmed to read the bar code you are scanning. Also, the bar code symbol might be unreadable, so check if it's defaced or try scanning test symbols of the same bar code type. The distance between the scanner and bar code could also be incorrect; try moving the scanner closer to or further from the bar code.
Why is scanned data incorrectly displayed on the host from my Symbol Barcode Reader?
Scanned data may be incorrectly displayed because the Symbol Barcode Reader isn't programmed to work with the host. Make sure the proper host is selected. For RS-232C, ensure the scanner’s communication parameters match the host’s settings. For a keyboard wedge configuration, ensure the system is programmed for the correct keyboard type, and the CAPS LOCK key is off. Also, ensure editing options are properly programmed.
What to do if the Symbol LS1900 Barcode Reader decodes a symbol, but it's not transmitted to the host?
If the Symbol Barcode Reader decodes the symbol but it's not transmitted to the host, it might not be programmed for the correct host type. Scan the appropriate host type bar code to resolve this.
How to troubleshoot a Symbol LS1900 when nothing happens following the operating instructions?
If nothing happens when following the operating instructions for the Symbol Barcode Reader, check the system power to ensure the scanner is getting power. If your configuration requires a power supply, make sure it's connected. Also, check for loose cable connections, as loose interface or power cables can cause this issue.
