Scanning With the SR61T
This chapter explains how to scan bar codes and includes
the following sections:
•Understanding the SR61T Behavior
•Scanning Bar Codes
9
Chapter 2 — Scanning With the SR61T
Understanding the SR61T Behavior
The SR61T uses lights, beeps and vibrations to indicate if a bar code
has been successfully decoded. The status light and beeps described in
this section are new and do not correspond to the legacy SR61T
models (SR61TV, SR61TA, SR61TL or SR61TE).
Note: If you prefer to use the legacy beep and LED mode you can
activate the legacy mode using EasySet. For information on using
EasySet see Chapter 4, “Configuring the SR61T” on page 31.
Understanding the Status Light
The status light on the SR61T flashes red or green depending on the
status of the scanner.
Default Status Light Description
Light StateWhat it Means
Series of green
flashes (USB
interface only)
Green light on for 2

Green light flashes 2
times
Red light on for 2

Power-up
At power-up the status light flashes to indicate the
activated USB interface:
—1 flash = Keyboard HID
—3 flashes = Virtual COM
The status light only flashes at power up for a USB
interface.
The scanner successfully decoded a bar code and sent
the data to the host device.
A configuration bar code was successfully read.

10SR61T Tethered Scanner User’s Guide
Understanding the Beeps
The SR61T beeps to give you audio feedback when performing some
functions. For example, you hear a beep each time you scan a valid bar
code.
Default SR61T Beep Descriptions
Beep SequenceWhat it Means
Two beepsPower-up
Single beepThe scanner successfully scanned a bar code.
Two fast beeps
Six very fast beeps Transmission error
Stacked Code Crackle
When using SR61TL (laser scanner) by default the scanner makes a
crackle noise when reading stacked codes (such as PDF417). For more
information see EasySet.

Note: You can modify many of the default settings for the light, beeps
and crackle using EasySet version 5.6.4.0 or higher. EasySet is
available on the Intermec website at www.intermec.com/EasySet.
SR61T Tethered Scanner User’s Guide11
Chapter 2 — Scanning With the SR61T
Using Vibrate Alert
You can configure the SR61T to vibrate when it successfully decodes a
bar code. This feature can be useful in these situations:
•You are in a noisy environment, such as a busy warehouse, where it
can be difficult to hear the beep.
•You are working in a quiet environment, such as a library, where
you do not want to make a lot of noise.
To turn on vibrate alert
•Scan this bar code:
Turn On Vibrate Alert
To turn off vibrate alert
•Scan this bar code:
Turn Off Vibrate Alert
12SR61T Tethered Scanner User’s Guide
Scanning Bar Codes
For theSR61TL, SR61TXR, SR61THP and SR61T2Ddo not look
directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam
or laser aiming beam while scanning. Long-term exposure to the
laser beam can damage your vision.
The SR61T contains either a 1D linear imager (SR61T1D), 2D area
imager (SR61T2D or SR61THP), laser scan engine (SR61TL), or nearfar range area imager (SR61TXR)to scan bar code data. The type of
scan engine you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding
determines the way you scan the bar code.
When you unpack the SR61T, these bar code symbologies are enabled:
•Code 39
•Code 128 / GS1-128
•EAN/UPC
•PDF417 (SR61TL, SR61T2D, SR61THP and SR61TXR only)
Chapter 2 — Scanning With the SR61T
•DataMatrix (SR61T2D, SR61THP and SR61TXR only)
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different
symbology, you need to enable the symbology on your SR61T. Use
EasySet version 5.6.4.0 or later to enable and disable symbologies for
your scanner. EasySet is available on the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com/EasySet.

To scan a bar code label with a laser scanner or 1D linear imager
1 Point the SR61T at the bar code label and hold the SR61T at a
slight angle 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) from the label.
2 Pull the trigger, and direct the red beam so that it falls across all
bars in the bar code label.
Use this test bar code:
Code 39 Test Bar Code
*123456*

Tip: Depending on your screen resolution, you can scan bar codes
displayed on your computer screen except when scanning with the
SR61TL (laser imager). Print out and scan bar codes with the
SR61TL (laser imager).
When the SR61T successfully reads a bar code label, the SR61T
beeps one time, the status light briefly turns green, and the
scanner beam turns off. If Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61T
briefly vibrates.

Hands-Free Scanning
The SR61T is a hand-held scanner however using the Hands-Free
Stand (P/N 203-877-xxx) you can also set up your scanner for
scanning items without having to hold your scanner in your hand (see
“Hands-Free Stand” on page 6. For hands-free scanning you will
need to use EasySet to change the default trigger mode. See EasySet
version 5.6.4.0 or higher for more information.

Problems and Possible Solutions
ProblemPossible Solution
You pull the trigger, but
nothing happens.
You pull the trigger, the
red scanning beam
turns on, but you
cannot successfully scan
a bar code.
The SR61T receives power from either a host or an
external power supply through an accessory cable.
Make sure:
• You are using the appropriate cable. For more
information, see “Required Accessories” on
page 5.
• The cable is connected to the appropriate port
on the host computer.
• The universal power supply (if necessary) is
properly plugged in.
Try these possible solutions:
• Make sure that the SR61T is configured for the
symbology you are scanning.
• Make sure that the SR61T is at the appropriate
scanning distance from the bar code. Move the
SR61T closer and farther away to find the
appropriate distance.
• Make sure that the SR61T is configured for the
type (1D, 2D, etc.) of bar code you are scanning.
• The bar code you are trying to scan may be
poorly printed or too small. Scan a known good
bar code to make sure that the SR61T is
working properly.
For more information, see “Scanning Bar Codes”
on page 13.

ProblemPossible Solution
You scan a bar code and
the status light turns
on, but the SR61T does
not beep.
The beep duration, volume, frequency, and
number may be configured so the SR61T does not
beep. To reset the SR61T, scan this bar code:
Reset factory defaults
You scan a
configuration bar code
and the SR61T beeps six
very fast beeps.
You scan a bar code, the
SR61T beeps once, and
the status light blinks
green once, but the data
is not transmitted to the
host computer.
You cannot scan the
Firmware upgrade bar
code on your computer
screen.
The SR61T does not recognize or support the
configuration bar code you scanned.
Try these possible solutions:
• Make sure that your data collection application
is set up to receive data from the SR61T.
• If you are using an RS-232 cable, make sure that
the serial parameters on the SR61T match the
serial parameters of the host computer. The
default serial parameters for the SR61T are:
57600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop
bit.

Windows® XP with SP2 or Microsoft Windows 2000 with SP4 or
higher versions.
•EasySet version 5.6.4.0 or later with WinFlash version 3.1.1.1 or
later.
•The firmware update file (.bin).
Note: Before you start the upgrade process, make sure that you are not
using the selected COM port for any other application or you receive
an error and cannot use the COM port.

Cleaning the SR61T
Clean the scanner window as often as needed for the environment in
which you are using the SR61T. To clean the scanner window, you can
use soapy water, a solution of ammonia and water, or isopropyl
alcohol.
Opening the SR61T voids the warranty and may cause damage to
the internal components.
To clean the scanner window
1 Dip a clean towel or rag in soapy water, ammonia and water
solution, or isopropyl alcohol and wring out the excess. Wipe the
scanner window. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the
window.
2 Wipe dry with a lint-free cloth.
