    What to do if the bar code is decoded, but data is not transmitted to the host by Symbol LS3578?
    • C
      Casey PrestonAug 18, 2025
      To ensure the Symbol Barcode Reader transmits data to the host after decoding, try the following: * Pair the scanner to the cradle using the PAIR bar code on the cradle. * Check the scanner host parameters or edit options to ensure the cradle is programmed for the correct host interface. * Ensure all cable connections are secure. * Disconnect and reconnect the power supply and host cable to the cradle, waiting three seconds between disconnections, and then reestablish pairing.

    Why does my Symbol LS3578 Barcode Reader emit four long low beeps after scanning a bar code?
    • M
      Michael RyanAug 21, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader emits four long low beeps after scanning a bar code, it could be due to several reasons: 1. Ensure that the correct host interface cable is being used. 2. Verify that all cable connections are secure. 3. Pair the scanner to the cradle by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle connected to the host. 4. If a disconnect beep sequence occurs, refer to the instructions for a disconnect beep sequence. 5. Ensure the cradle’s communication parameters match the host's settings to avoid transmission errors. 6. Wait several seconds to allow the cradle to complete USB initialization, then scan again.

    Why is the scanned data incorrectly displayed on the host from Symbol LS3578 Barcode Reader?
    • M
      Michelle RuizAug 23, 2025
      If scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host from the Symbol Barcode Reader, verify the following: * Ensure the proper host is selected, as the cradle host communication parameters may not match the host’s parameters. * For RS-232, ensure the cradle’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. * Ensure editing options, such as UPC-E to UPC-A conversion, are properly programmed.

    What to do if the laser comes on, but Symbol LS3578 does not decode the bar code?
    • J
      Julie LoveAug 26, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader laser comes on but doesn't decode the bar code, it might be due to the following reasons: * Ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code being scanned. * Check the bar code symbol to ensure it is not defaced. Try scanning test bar codes of the same bar code type. * Adjust the scanner's distance; move it closer to or further from the bar code.

    Why does Symbol LS3578 emit a disconnect (short high-short low) beep sequence?
    • J
      James ChavezAug 28, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader emits a disconnect (short high-short low) beep sequence, it indicates the scanner has disconnected from the cradle. This can happen if: * The scanner is too far from the cradle; move closer and listen for a reconnection beep (short low-short high). * The cradle has lost power or entered USB suspend mode; check the power connections to the cradle, and if using a USB cable, ensure the PC has not entered a power save mode.

    What to do if the Symbol LS3578 Barcode Reader cradle does not work after following installation procedures?
    • B
      Benjamin WoodAug 30, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader cradle does not work after following installation procedures, check the following: * Ensure the cradle is receiving power by checking the system power. * Reinsert cables properly to ensure cable connections are secure. * Reinsert the scanner to ensure it is properly placed in the cradle. * Check that host settings are correct and connect the cradle to the appropriate port on the host to ensure the cradle is properly connected to the host.

    What to do if nothing happens when scan trigger is pressed on Symbol LS3578 Barcode Reader?
    • M
      Mindy CallahanSep 1, 2025
      If nothing happens when you press the scan trigger on the Symbol Barcode Reader, consider these possibilities: * Check the battery to ensure the scanner has power. * Ensure that the end cap to the battery chamber is secured. * If using Simple Serial Interface (SSI), Synapse, or IBM-468x mode, enable the scanner via the host interface. Otherwise, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for assistance. * If using RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, assert the CTS line.

      Andrew JonesSep 4, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader emits four short high beeps, it means the battery is low. Charge the battery.

    What does it mean when my Symbol Barcode Reader emits five long low beeps after a bar code is decoded?
    • M
      Michael ChavezSep 6, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader emits five long low beeps after a bar code is decoded, ensure the scanner’s conversion parameters are properly configured, as a conversion error or format error has been detected.

    Why does Symbol LS3578 emit short high-short high-short high-long low beep sequence when it is not in use?
    • R
      richard37Sep 8, 2025
      If the Symbol Barcode Reader emits a short high-short high-short high-long low beep sequence when it is not in use, it typically indicates an RS-232 receive error. This is normal during a host reset. Otherwise, ensure the scanner’s RS-232 parity setting matches the host setting.
