Your EP1 unit does not read 
A barcode continued: 
•  Check to make sure the bar code label is not defaced. 
•  If the problem is with a Pick Ticket label only, the most 
common problem is the printer not printing the bars 
correctly. 
•  Be sure you are within proper scanning range 
•  Be sure the unit is programmed to accept the type of 
barcode you are scanning. 
•  If you are expecting a beep on a good decode and don’t 
hear one, check to see that the application is set to generate 
a beep on a good decode. 
•  If the scanner stops emitting a laser beam when you press 
the trigger, check your battery level. When the battery is 
low, the scanner shuts off before the terminal notifies you 
of the low battery condition. 
Note: If, after performing these checks, the scanner is still 
not reading symbols, contact your distributor or Symbol 
Technololgies.
