Service Information

If there is a problem with the equipment, contact the regional Global Customer Interaction Center. For contact number information, visit: www.symbol.com/contactsupport for a Customer Interaction Center in your area. Before calling, have the model number, serial number and several bar code symbols at hand.

Call the Global Customer Interaction Center from a phone near the scanning equipment so that the service person can try to troubleshoot the problem. If the equipment is found to be working properly and the problem is reading bar codes, the Support Center will request samples of the bar codes for analysis at our plant.

If the problem cannot be solved over the phone, it may be necessary to return the equipment for servicing. If that is necessary, the Global Customer Interaction Center will provide specific directions.

The Symbol LS9203 scanner supports the following interfaces:

Standard RS-232 connection to a host. Proper communications of the scanner with the host is set up by scanning bar code menus.

Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. Scanned data is interpreted by the host as keystrokes.

International Keyboards supported (for Windows® environment): North American, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Brazilian/Portuguese and Japanese.

International Keyboards supported (for Win XP/2000™ environment): French Canadian

International Keyboards supported (for Win 95/98 environment): French Canadian

Wand Emulation connection to a host. The scanner is connected to a portable data terminal, a controller, or host which collects the data as wand data and decodes it.

USB connection to a host. The scanner autodetects a USB host and defaults to the HID keyboard interface type. Other USB interface types are selectable by scanning programming bar code menus.

International Keyboards supported (for Windows environment): North America, German, French, French International, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, British, and Japanese.

Unpacking the Scanner

Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, call the Global Customer Interaction Center. See page xiv for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment is returned for servicing.

Setting Up the Scanner

Installing the Interface Cable

1.Connect the interface cable to the host computer.

2.Plug the interface cable modular connector into the interface cable port on the rear of the Symbol LS9203 (See Figure 1-2.)

3.Push the connector into the housing until a “click” sound is heard. The green LED lights up and three short high beeps sound, indicating that the scanner is operational.

Figure 1-2. Installing the Interface Cable

Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner

Note

remain the same.

 

Connecting Power (if required)

If the host does not provide power to the scanner, an external power connection to the scanner is required:

1.Connect the interface cable to the back of the scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-4.

2.Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (refer to the host manual to locate the correct port).

3.Plug the power supply into the power jack on the interface cable.

4.Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC outlet.

Configuring the Scanner

To configure the scanner, use the bar codes included in this manual. Refer to Chapter 4, User Preferences for information about programming the scanner using bar code menus.

The scanner supports RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, Wand Emulation and USB to interface to a host system. Each host specific chapter describes how to set up each of these connections.

Removing the Interface Cable

To remove the interface cable:

1.Unplug the installed cable’s modular connector by depressing the connector clip and gently pulling back.

2.Follow the steps for Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-4 to connect a new cable.

Introduction

This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes, beeper and LED definitions, and general instructions and tips about scanning.

Scanning

An omni scan pattern provides rapid, orientation-free scanning. Scanning can be done as either a hands-free or hand-held operation.

To scan a bar code, direct it in toward the window of the scanner (“presentation” scanning, see Figure 2-4 on page 2-5) or from side to side in a sweeping motion (“swipe” scanning, see Figure 2-5 on page 2-5).

1.Ensure all cable connections are secure.

2.Place the scanner in the stand (see Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1. Scanner in the Stand

To mount the detachable stand, see Mounting Template on page 2-9.

3.To scan a bar code, present the bar code and ensure the scan lines cross every bar and space of the symbol. See Figure 2-2 on page 2-4 for scanning in hands-free mode and Figure 2-3 on page 2-4 for scanning in hand-held mode.

4.Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the green LED flashes momentarily.

Scanning 2-5

To scan a bar code, present it to the exit window of the scanner (“presentation” scanning) or move it from side-to-side in a sweeping motion (“swipe” scanning) as shown in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.

Beeper Definitions

The scanner communicates with the user by emitting different beeper sequences and patterns. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.

Standard Use

 

 

 

3 short high beeps

Power up.

 

 

Short high beep

A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).

 

 

4 long low beeps

A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not

 

properly configured. Check option setting.

 

 

5 low beeps

Conversion or format error.

 

 

Lo/hi/lo beep

ADF transmit error.

 

 

Hi/hi/hi/lo beep

RS-232 receive error.

 

 

Parameter Menu Scanning

 

 

 

Short high beep

Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.

 

 

Lo/hi beep

Input error, incorrect bar code or “Cancel” scanned, wrong entry, incorrect bar code programming

 

sequence; remain in program mode.

 

 

Hi/lo beep

Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using bar code keypad.

 

 

Hi/lo/hi/lo beep

Successful program exit with change in the parameter setting.

 

 

Low/hi/low/hi beep

Out of host parameter storage space. Scan Set Default Parameter on page 4-5.

 

 

Code 39 Buffering

 

 

 

Hi/lo beep

New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer.

 

 

3 long high beeps

Code 39 buffer is full.

 

 

Lo/hi/lo beep

The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an attempt to clear or transmit an empty buffer.

 

 

Lo/hi beep

A successful transmission of buffered data.

 

 

Host Specific

 

 

 

USB only

 

 

 

4 short high beeps

Scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again.

 

 

Scanner gives a power-up beep after

Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power

level.

 

 

This power-up beep occurs more than

The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than

once. This is normal and usually happens when the PC cold boots.

 

 

RS-232 only

 

 

 

1 short high beep

A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is enabled.

LED Definitions

In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using an LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED flashes that display during scanning.

LED

 

Indication

 

 

 

Off

 

No power is applied to the scanner.

 

 

 

Green

 

The scanner is on and “ready to scan.”

 

 

 

Momentary flash

 

A bar code was successfully decoded.

 

 

 

Slow continuous flashing

 

The scanner is in programming mode.

 

 

 

Fast continuous flashing

 

There is a internal problem; the laser is shut off for regulatory reasons.

 

 

 

Aiming

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult.

The scanner can be tilted up to 45°forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-6). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
