How to Scan
Quick Reference Guide 15
3. Is the barcode displayed but not entered?
The barcode is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still
have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return or Tab key, for
example).
You need to program a suffix which enables the reader to output
the barcode data plus the key you need (such as a carriage return
“CR”) to enter the data into your application. Refer to the PRG
for further information.
4. Does the reader read the barcode incorrectly?
If the reader reads a barcode, but the data is not displayed correctly
on the host screen:
• The reader may not be programmed for the appropriate termi-
nal interface. For example, you scan “12345” and the host dis-
plays “@es%.” Reprogram the reader with the correct interface
selection barcode. See
Programming in this manual and/or the
PRG.
• The reader may not be programmed to output your barcode
data properly. For example, you scan “12345” and the host dis-
plays “A12345B.” Reprogram the reader with the proper Data
Editing selections. Reference the PRG.
5. The reader won’t read your barcode at all.
• Scan the part number barcode in the back of this manual or the
samples from the PRG. If the reader reads sample barcodes,
check that your barcode is readable.
• Verify that your barcode symbology is enabled. See the PRG.
6. If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the
reader, or if you want the factory default settings restored, go to the
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults section of this manual and
scan the standard factory default settings barcode.
