    What to do if scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host using my Symbol LS2208?
    • L
      Luis OliverJul 28, 2025
      If scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host, ensure the proper host is selected. For RS-232, verify that the scanner’s communication parameters match the host’s settings. For a USB HID keyboard or a keyboard wedge configuration, ensure the system is programmed for the correct keyboard type and language, and the CAPS LOCK key is in the correct state. Also, ensure editing options are properly programmed.

    Why does the laser come on, but my Symbol LS2208 Barcode Reader doesn't decode the symbol?

      Stephanie JohnsonAug 1, 2025
      If the laser comes on but the symbol does not decode, ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code you are scanning. Also, check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced. Try scanning test symbols of the same bar code type. Finally, adjust the distance between the scanner and the bar code.
