7. Solució De Problemes

Aquí teniu solucions a problemes comuns que podeu trobar:

Q: Some barcodes cannot be read, why?

A: Possible reasons include:

• The barcode is dirty, unclear, or damaged.
• Digital barcodes displayed on phones or computers can be read by the CCD sensor, but some might require specific settings.
• The scanner might not be configured to read that specific barcode type. Refer to the full user manual for programming barcodes to enable/disable specific symbologies. Contact customer service if you need assistance identifying the barcode type.

Q: Is there any way to apply or remove an 'Enter' suffix after scanning?

A: Yes, you can refer to the 'Common Function Barcodes' in the full user manual to configure this setting. This typically involves scanning specific programming barcodes.

Q: The data cannot be sent to my computer. Why?

A: Please ensure you have turned off the inventory mode. If the scanner is in inventory mode, it will store scans internally instead of transmitting them immediately. You need to scan the 'Manual data upload' barcode (found in the full user manual) to send the stored codes to your connected device.

P: Com resoldre el problema de codi desordenat que es troba en utilitzar altres idiomes estrangers?

A: The default language setting for the scanner is English. Please refer to the 'Language Setting' chapter in the full user manual to change the output language encoding if you are experiencing messy codes with non-English characters.
