Scanning 2-3 Intr oduction This chapter provides beeper and LED defin itions, techniques involv ed in scanning bar codes, general instructions and tips ab out scanni ng, and decode zone diagrams.
WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide 2-4 Beeper Definitio ns The scanner emits different beeper sequenc es and patterns to indicate its status. Ta b l e 2 - 1 defines beep sequen ces that occur during bo th normal scannin g and while program ming the scanner .
Scanning 2-5 LED Definitions In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner uses the two-colo r LED to indicate its status. Ta b l e 2 - 2 defines LED colors that display during scanning. RS-232 only 1 short high beep A <BEL> character is re ceived and Beep on <BEL> is enabled.
WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide 2-6 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode Install and pr og ram the scanner (see Setting Up the Scanner on page 1-5 ). For assistance, contact the local supplier or W asp Support . 1. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter).
Scanning 2-7 Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflectin g directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specu lar reflection. This sp ecul ar reflection ca n make decoding dif ficult. The scanner can be tilted up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode ( Figure 2-3 ).
WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide 2-8 Scanning in Hands-Fr ee Mode The optional IntelliS tand adds greater flexibility to the sca nning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’ s “cup,” the s canner ’ s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode.
