SPT 1500 Product Reference Guide
1. Make sure the bar code label is not defaced.
2. Make sure the bar code is of a symbology which can be read by the scanner.
3. Check that the scanner window is not dirty. If it is, gently clean it using a tissue or
other non-abrasive material. Do not spray any cleaner directly on the scanner
window.
4. Try another bar code. It is possible that your bar code is bad.
5. Check your application code.
6. Make sure the parameters are set correctly for the bar code being scanned; i.e.,
lengths, symbology, etc.
If you do not hear a sound after a good decode, check that the system sound option is set in
the general preferences screen, and that beep on good decode is set (checked) in Hardware
Set up in the Scan Demo application.
If you have checked all of these things and are still experiencing problems decoding your bar
codes, please contact Symbol Technologies Technical Support Center. See page xvii for
contact information.
Battery Implications While Using the Laser Scanner
If your battery becomes low while the scanning application is active, the scanning application
deactivates. The rest of the desktop applications continue to work until you receive further
low battery warnings. You should perform a HotSync at this point to avoid data loss.
