Purpose

This Quick Reference Guide is designed to assist you during
routine LS 5700/LS 5800 operation. Detailed information
about unpacking, installation, performance specifications,
and troubleshooting can be found in the

Product Reference Guide

.

LS 5700/LS 5800

Product Description

The LS 5700 and LS 5800 high performance omni-directional
laser scanners read bar codes quickly and accurately with
a minimum of effort. Electrical Article Surveillance (EAS)
compatibility which allows simultaneous bar code reads
and radio frequency tag deactivation is offered as an option.
Except for mounting orientation and installation, both scanners
are similar in most other areas. Unless otherwise noted, this
guide will apply equally to the LS 5700 and LS 5800.

LS 5700

The LS 5700 is designed to rest on top of the counter.

LS 5800

The LS 5800 mounts in the counter with the face of the scanner
flush with the counter top. The LS 5800 is available with a
stainless steel top cover and scratch-proof scan window option.
It is well suited for the most demanding applications, where
hard goods such as bottles and cans are dragged across the
scanner.

Operating the LS 5700/LS 5800 Scanner

Turning On

The LS 5700/LS 5800 does not have an on/off switch. As soon as
you plug it in, it’s ready to scan.

Indicator Lights

Notice the red and green indicator lights inside the scan
window. They provide you with information about the
scanner’s operation. Here’s what you can expect to see:

• Green light on, red light off - The scanner is on, waiting to
decode a symbol.

• Green light off briefly - A bar code has been successfully
decoded. You will also hear a beep from the scanner to
confirm this.

• Green light on, red light on - The scanner is asleep. See

Rest/Sleep Mode

• Anything else - Including steady red light, blinking red
light, or blinking green light. The scanner is not
operating normally. Contact the technical person in
charge of scanning at your location, or call the

Support Center

Controls

The LS 5700 has a push button near the top right corner. This
push button is to both adjust the volume and tone of the beeper,
and to wake the scanner from its rest or sleep mode.

When the scanner is operating, depress this button to adjust the
volume/tone. Hold down the button until the desired sound is
obtained. There are five distinct volume/tone combinations.
Each combination beeps two times before cycling to the next
sound.

If the scanner is in a rest or sleep mode, depressing this push
button briefly awakens the scanner.

Scanning a Bar Code

For the best scanning performance, the counter top or surface
area covered by the active scan area should be free of any de­signs (e.g. stripes or patterns). Ideally , that area should be a light
solid color. To scan a bar code, move an item thr ough the active
scan area in the direction of the arrows, with the bar code label
facing the scan window . The scanner beeps when a bar code has
been decoded successfully.

Rest/Sleep Mode

If there is no scanning activity for a specified period of time, the
scanner enters a rest or reduced power mode. The default is 30
minutes. You can change this period of time by scanning the
appropriate bar code in the
saves power and extends the life of the scanner. The
LS 5700/LS 5800 automatically awakens as soon as you pass
a bar coded item past the scan window.

The LS 5700 also has a programmable shut-down sleep option
that turns off the laser and the motor. The scanner can be
awakened from this mode or the rest mode by momentarily
depressing the push button on the top right corner . When you
press this button, the scanner emits two beeps. The volume
and tone settings remain unchanged.
