Quick Reference Guide 3

Introduction

This guide is designed to assist during routine LS7808 operation. Detailed information about unpacking, installation, performance specifications, programming and troubleshooting can be found in the LS7808 Product Reference Guide (p/n 72E-73952-XX).

Product Description

The Symbol LS7808 horizontal slot scanner is a high performance, omni-directional scanner that supports high throughput applications at the point of sale (POS). The scanner reads all retail symbologies and has multi-interface capability to interface to all popular POS devices. The scanner is designed for horizontal in-counter mounting and allows slide-through scanning of items enhancing productivity and throughput. The scanner has an integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antenna for use with Checkpoint

Parts

Power

The LS7808 does not have an on/off switch. It is ready to scan when connected to a power supply.

Indicator Lights

The scanner employs an LED with a combination of red and green lights to indicate operation and decode status. See LED Definitions on page

10 for the different light combinations and their meanings.

If the scanner is not operating normally, contact the technical person in charge of scanning, or call Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support (see details on the back cover).

Sleep Mode

The scanner automatically enters Sleep mode when it has been inactive for a specified length of time. The scanner has two levels of sleep: laser and motor. In laser sleep mode, after ten seconds of inactivity the laser pulses at a 50% rate, and then drops to 3% after a specified time. In motor sleep mode, the scanner is programmed to turn off the motor and the laser.

To wake the scanner from sleep mode, present a bar code at the scanner window.

Beeper Volume

The scanner emits a short beep when it successfully reads a bar code. The volume of the beep is changed electronically by a command sent by the host, or by scanning one of the beeper volume bar codes in the LS7808 Product Reference Guide. See Beeper Definitions on page 8.

Connections

The scanner’s ports are at the lower edge of the scanner. Remove the connection cover to access the ports.

6 Symbol LS7808 Horizontal Slot Scanner

Routing the Cables

The scanner case has several channels to route the outgoing cables so that they are organized and don’t hinder the scanner’s placement. After placing the cable connectors in the appropriate scanner ports, route the cables through the nearest channel.

For a cable with a Y-connector (containing both power and interface connectors):

1. Connect the power and interface cables to the appropriate ports.

2. Route the cables according to the following diagram.

Installing the Scanner

The LS7808 mounts in the counter with the face of the scanner flush with the counter top. Refer to the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for detailed installation instructions.

Scanning Bar Codes

Install and program the scanner. Refer to the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for programming instructions. For assistance, contact the local

supplier or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support (see details on the back cover).

To scan a bar code:

1. Ensure all cable connections are secure.

2. Orient the item with the bar code facing the scanner window.

3. Move the item through the active scan area (see page 8) in the

direction of the scan arrow, or place the item in front of the scanner.

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

flashes momentarily.

Active Scan Area

The active scan area, in front of the scanner window, is optimized to scan items as they move in the direction of the scan arrow.

The dotted areas below represent the active scan area.

Beeper Definitions

The scanner communicates with the user by emitting different beeper sequences and patterns. See the Beeper Indications table below for beeper sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.

Beeper Sequence Indication

Standard Use

3 high beeps Power up.

Maintenance

Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. A dirty or scratched window may affect scanning activity.

- Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.

- Wipe the window with a tissue moistened with ammonia or water.

To clean the exit window:

1. Insert a coin into the large screw heads on the front of the scanner

and turn counter-clockwise.

2. Lift off the window.

3. Wipe clean the underside of the upper window.

4. Wipe clean the top surface of the lower window.

5. Re-install the top cover by tightening the two large screws.

To change the exit window:

1. Remove the window as described above.

2. Replace with a new window.

3. Reinstall the top cover by tightening the two large screws.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Causes Possible Solutions

The omni-line scan pattern does not display when you follow the directions for installing the host cable.

Scan line(s) display, but bar code cannot be read.

Bar code is decoded, but not transmitted to the host.

No power to the scanner.

Interface cable is not properly connected.

Scanner is not programmed to read the bar code type.

Bar code is damaged. Try scanning other bar codes

Bar code is too far from scanner.

The host has disabled scanning or overridden parameter settings.

Scanner is not programmed for the correct host type.

Ensure the host has power, and is on. If the scanner uses a separate power supply, ensure it’s connected to a working AC outlet. Power-up sequence is incorrect. Refer to the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for more information.

Check for loose cable connections.

Ensure scanner is programmed to read the bar code type you are scanning.

of the same bar code type.

Move the bar code closer to the scanner.

See the technical person in charge of scanning.

Scan the appropriate host type bar code.
