Spanish:
El scanner reune las normas de seguridad IEC 825-1 (1993) para un producto laser de Clase 1. Y también reune las normas U.S. 21CFR1040 que se aplican a un producto laser de Clase IIa. Se debe evitar mirar muy fijo en luz lasérica directa.
English:
The scanner complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a Class I laser product. It also complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term viewing of direct laser light.
Optical:
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.
Radiant Energy:
The scanner uses a low-power laser diode operating at 630 …670 nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power. Laser light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the window through a 7 mm (0.28 in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 µW per CDRH Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8 mW could be accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewer:
The scanner window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed on this product.
A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its power source immediately.
Adjustments:
Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove the scanner’s protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

F TROUBLESHOOTING
This section contains information on solving problems you may encounter when using the scanner. If troubles occur, take a moment to read the information in this section. However, before referring to the diagnostic tips make sure that the scanner is installed as described in Chapter 2 and that all cables are properly connected.
Problems
The scanner is on but a barcode cannot be read. The LED is blue.
The scanner is on, but the motor is not rotating. A barcode cannot be read.
The LED is intermittently flashing orange.
The LED is alternating blue/orange.
The LED is alternating blue/orange and beeps are heard.
The scanner does not accept more than two or three barcodes.
Diagnostic Tips
The scanner window is dirty. Clean the scanner window as described in the Maintenance section.
The presented barcode type is not enabled. Select the barcode type with the Configuration Guide.
The scanner is disabled by the host.
The barcode type you presented to the scanner is not supported by the scanner.
The scanner is in sleep mode. Press the Sleep/Wake Button to reactivate the scanner or use the wake protocol.
Mirror motor is defective and must be replaced (Authorized personnel only).
Possible failure of the detecting protective circuit. Immediately disconnect the scanner from its power source. Contact your supplier.
There is no proper handshaking with the host system. Switch the host system on and check connection and communication settings.
Appendices 25
Problems
The LED is blinking blue/orange.
The LED remains blue.
A barcode is read by the scanner but not accepted by the host system.
Diagnostic Tips
The ambient temperature is too high. Make sure the scanner has enough air ventilation and is not placed in direct sunlight.
The scanner is continuously reading a barcode. Remove all barcode labels from the scan volume of the scanner and try again.
The scanner cannot send the data to the host system. There is no proper handshaking between the scanner and the host. Scanner buffer is full. Make sure that all cables are connected and your host system is ready to receive data.
The communication cable is not connected to the serial port of your host system. Refer to the manual of your host system to locate the serial port.
The communication settings of the host and scanner do not match.
Ensure that the setting values for both devices are the same. For proper adjustment values see the
Configuration Guide.
The communication cable does not suit your host system. Contact your supplier for the correct communication cable.
The data format is not supported by the software running on the host system.
26 Appendices
Problems
USB is not working.
Diagnostic Tips
Unless you use USB plus power, you need a separate power connection to the scanner like the external power supply.
Restart the scanner by temporarily disconnecting the power. This may help the POS system to detect the scanner. The very first time the PC might install some general drivers, possibly from your computer setup
CD.
In case of KB emulation you can select various ‘keyboard languages’ or the universal ‘Alt-input-method’.
In a windows environment verify with the device manager that a HID
(Human Interface Device) is installed for the scanner.
Ensure that both the scanner and
POS-system/Computer expect the same USB protocol (KB emulation,
RS-232 emulation or IBM POS protocol).
See Configuration Guide for setup codes and reset (re-power) the scanner after making any changes.
Due to Champtek’s/Scantech ID’s continuing product improvement programs, specifications and features are subject to change without notice.
