close together.

The 8525 G2/8530 G2 scanner LED (the upper-right LED) indicates
whether or not your scan is successful. Keep in mind that scan indi-
cators only function when using a non-decoded 1D laser scanner
connected to the tether port. All other external scanners have inte-
grated LED indicators that are not controlled by the 8525/8530 G2.
The LED behaves as follows:
• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.
• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and
turns off when the scan is ended.
• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.
A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scan-
ner beam is active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the
scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until
the scan trigger is released.
