How to Scan

Reference Figure 3 and follow these tips to get the best scanning results:

1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle in relation to the

bar code (Not perpendicular to the bar code.)

2. The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. (The scanner

cannot correctly read a bar code if the entire bar code is not

scanned.)

Figure 3

Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not operating properly, the following checks should be

performed: Reference Figures 4 and 5.

1. Since the scanner can receive its power from the host computer

(Power Off the Terminal—P.O.T.) or an external power supply, it

will not operate without the system power on (Figure 4a) or if the

external power supply has failed.

2. Check that the bar code labels are of sufficient quality to be

recognized by the scanner (Figure 4b). Wrinkled, smudged, or

torn bar codes can cause the scanner to not read at all. If you

suspect that label quality is a problem, scan a known good bar

code to check the scanner's read operation. Is the scanner

programmed to read the bar code symbology desired? Consult the

QuickScan 1000™ Scanner Programming Guide (P/N R44-2018)

for more information (Figure 4c).*

3. Ensure that the scanner's interface type is compatible with the host

terminal by consulting your POS system manual and/or the

QuickScan 1000 Scanner Programming Guide (P/N R44-2018).

4. Verify that the interface (I/F) cable is securely attached to the

scanner handle (Figure 4d). If you need to disconnect/reconnect

the I/F cable from the scanner, insert the tip of a paper clip into the

cable release hole shown in Figure 5. Push the clip in to depress

the connector latch and release the cable. To reconnect the cable,

orient the cable with its connector inside the scanner handle and

press it in firmly to seat and latch securely in place.

5. Verify that the interface) cable is securely attached to the host

(Figure 4e). Consult your technical support manager or refer to

your host system manual to verify the proper connection for the

scanner.

6. If an external power supply is used, exchange the power supply

with a known good power supply (Figure 4g).

If the scanner receives power from the host (P.O.T.), connect the

scanner to a known good host.

If the scanner still does not function properly, contact your local supplier

or PSC Customer Support Services.

Figure 2

Refer to Figures 1 and 2, and follow these steps to install the scanner:

1. Turn the host power off (consult the manual for your host

terminal power-off procedures). See Figure 2a.

2. Connect the interface (I/F) cable to the proper port on the Host

terminal (Figure 2b).

If your scanner will receive Power Off the Terminal, skip to step 5.

3. Connect the power cord from the AC/DC adapter at the I/F

connector (Figure 2c).

4. Connect the AC/DC adapter at the wall outlet (Figure 2d).

5. Turn host power on. (Consult the manual for your host

terminal for power-on procedures.)

6. Verify operation--point the laser spot at a sample bar code to

scan it and confirm that the scanner reads by beeping and/or

sending the data to the host terminal.

7. If your installation includes a QS1000™ scanner stand and you

wish to attach it to a countertop, unscrew the gooseneck/cradle

assembly from the base as shown in Figure 1a. Secure the

mount plate to the counter with four screws, then reassemble

the stand in place. The scanner rests in the cradle as shown in

Figure 1b.

When the scanner is powered on, its LaserSense™ feature

automatically detects when you move a bar code label into

range and clearly shows you where the bar code should be

placed by projecting a laser marker spot.
