Diagnostic Modes

Two diagnostic modes are available which allow you to initiate scanner or

scale diagnostic tests, as well as verify the scanner’s ability to read bar

codes.

Scanner Diagnostic Mode

While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is

allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of bar codes

while troubleshooting problems. Under normal operation, the scanner

stores label data, awaiting the signal which transmits it to the host. When

the scanner is not connected to a host, it may read and store only up to

two labels, then quit reading until power is cycled (clearing the memory).

This mode of operation removes this limitation.

To place the scanner in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, press the Volume/Tone

(top) Push Button for approximately four seconds. While pressing the

button, the scanner will first sound three tones, wait a few seconds, then

sound six rapid tones; after which you should immediately release the but-

ton.

While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, identification numbers for interface

type, firmware and configuration will scroll continually across the scan-

ner’s 7-segment FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) display. This is useful infor-

mation for field diagnostics. See Figure 4-1 for the location of the

display. For example, if the dual cable RS-232 interface (type 05) were

enabled, the firmware designation was R96-1234, and the configuration

was R96-5593, the following would be shown (slowly, with blanking

between each of the items):

IF-05 r96-1234 r96-5593.

To exit Scanner Diagnostic Mode, cycle power to the unit or press and

hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for eight seconds to reset the scanner.

See Chapter 3, Scanner and Scale Reset for more information

about unit resets.

under the topic,

Interface Type.
