Bar Code Scanner, continued
Problem: Scanner outputs garbage.
Sometimes the computer cannot keep up with the
output from the Bar Code Scanner. Add some
“Intercharacter Delay” (see page 7) to slow the output
down a bit.
If the scanner appears to scan (emits light and
beeps), but does not output data, try scanning into a
word processor or Notepad session to see if it’s a
software problem.
If still no output, make sure the scanner is operating
in “undecoded” or “wand” mode.
Problem: No output from scanner.
Problem: Bar Code Scanner cannot be configured.
Your Unitech bar code scanner’s configuration can
be “locked” to prevent accidental modification by
scanning the “Menu Setup” bar code in the Quick
Setup Bar Codes on page 35. This bar code acts as
an on/off toggle, so to unlock the bar code scanner,
scan the “Menu Setup” bar code.
