Why does my Symbol Barcode Reader emit frequent beeps?
Frequent beeping from your Symbol Barcode Reader can indicate a few issues: * **Power Problems:** Ensure the system has power and, if required, reconnect the power supply. * **Incorrect Cable:** Verify you're using the correct host interface cable. Connect the right one if necessary. * **Loose Connections:** Check all cable connections and reconnect any that are loose.
What to do if Symbol LS4208 decodes but doesn't transmit data?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader decodes the bar code but doesn't transmit the data, the issue could be: * **Incorrect Host Type:** The scanner might not be programmed for the correct host type. Scan the appropriate host type programming bar code. * **Loose Cable:** A loose interface cable can prevent data transmission. Check the cable connection and reconnect it.
How to fix a Symbol LS4208 that emits laser but doesn't decode?
If your Symbol Barcode Reader emits the laser but doesn't decode the barcode, consider the following possibilities: 1. **Incorrect Barcode Type:** The scanner may not be programmed to read the barcode type. You should program the scanner to read that type of barcode. 2. **Unreadable Barcode:** The barcode symbol may be damaged or unreadable. Try scanning test symbols of the same barcode type to see if the barcode is defaced. 3. **Incorrect Distance:** The distance between the scanner and barcode may be incorrect. Move the scanner closer to or further from the barcode. 4. **Scan Line Placement:** The scan line may not be crossing every bar and space of the symbol. Adjust the symbol until the scan line is within the acceptable aiming pattern.
What does it mean when my Symbol LS4208 Barcode Reader emits four long low beeps?
Four long low beeps from your Symbol Barcode Reader indicate a transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol, and the data is ignored. This often happens if the unit isn't configured correctly. Check the option settings.
Why does my Symbol Barcode Reader emit five long low beeps after decoding?
Five long low beeps after decoding a barcode with your Symbol Barcode Reader indicates a conversion or format error. This could be due to: * Improperly configured conversion parameters. Ensure the scanner’s conversion parameters are properly configured. * An ADF rule with unsupported characters for the selected host. Change the ADF rule or switch to a host that supports it. * A barcode with characters that can't be sent to the host. Change the barcode or switch to a host that supports the barcode.
What does low/high/low/high beeps mean on a Symbol Barcode Reader?
Low/high/low/high beeps from the Symbol Barcode Reader indicate that you are out of storage space. This could be due to: * Being out of host parameter storage space. You should scan Default Parameters. * Being out of memory for ADF rules. You should reduce the number of ADF rules or the number of steps in the ADF rules. * Being out of ADF parameter storage space during programming. You should erase all rules and re-program with shorter rules.
What does high/high/high/low beeps mean on Symbol LS4208?
High/high/high/low beeps from your Symbol Barcode Reader typically indicate an RS-232 receive error. This is normal during a host reset. Otherwise, ensure the scanner's RS-232 parity matches the host setting.
What does low/high beeps mean on a Symbol LS4208?
Low/high beeps from your Symbol Barcode Reader indicate an input error. This occurs when an incorrect bar code or the Cancel bar code was scanned. Scan the correct numeric bar codes within the programmed range for the parameter.
What does high/low beeps mean on Symbol LS4208 Barcode Reader?
High/low beeps from your Symbol Barcode Reader mean the scanner is buffering Code 39 data, which is normal.
What do four short high beeps mean on Symbol LS4208 Barcode Reader (USB only)?
Four short high beeps (USB only) from your Symbol Barcode Reader indicate that the scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again.
