Troubleshooting
Scanner not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the computer. Try a different USB port. If using non-USB interfaces, verify the connection and host system settings.
Barcodes are not scanning correctly
Check that the barcode is clean and undamaged. Ensure the scanner is held at an appropriate distance and angle to the barcode. Verify that the barcode type is supported and enabled in the scanner's configuration (if applicable).
'Green Spot' not appearing on successful scan
Restart the scanner by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. Ensure there are no obstructions on the scan window. If the issue persists, consult the user manual for diagnostic steps.
Scanner is slow or intermittent
Check the USB cable for damage. Ensure the computer's USB port is functioning correctly. Close unnecessary applications on the computer that may be consuming resources.
