Quick Reference Guide 3 Introduction This Quick Reference Guide is designed to assist during routine LS7708 operation. Detailed information about unpacking, installation, performance specifications, and troubleshooting can be found in the LS7708 Product Reference Guide. Product Description The LS7708 high performance omni-directional laser scanner reads bar codes quickly and accurately with a minimum of effort.
Symbol LS7708 Controls The Volume Control & Wakeup button adjusts the volume of the beeper and wakes the scanner from rest or sleep mode. When the scanner is operating, depress this button to adjust the volume. Hold down the button until the desired volume is obtained (approximately five seconds). There are three volume levels. The scanner beeps twice at each volume level before cycling to the next.
Quick Reference Guide 5 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. Connections to power and host ports, side exit: keep power cable straight and route it ahead with interface cable. Connections to power and hand-held scanner ports, side exit: curl power cable and route it back towards interface cable.
Symbol LS7708 Attaching the Mounting Bracket Freestanding Configuration Use this method if the scanner will not be secured to a mounting surface. 1. Invert the scanner so that its bottom is facing up and the connections are visible. 2. Connect all interface and power cables to the scanner. Refer to the LS7708 Product Reference Guide for detailed information. 3. Orient the mounting bracket so that the plastic tab is facing downward and toward the slot on the back of the scanner.
Quick Reference Guide 7 4. Tilt the plastic tab into the slot on the scanner, and rotate the opposite edge downward. As the bracket rotates, push it toward the slot so that the feet of the bracket lie flat against the scanner’s bottom (see arrows). 5. When the bracket is flat against the scanner bottom, release pressure so that the feet slide forward into the front of the scanner. Mounted Configuration Use this method if the scanner will be secured to a mounting surface. 1.
Symbol LS7708 5. Insert four screws through the holes and fasten to the mounting surface. 6. Align the slot at the back of the scanner with the plastic tab on the mounting bracket. 7. Angle the scanner slightly to allow the bracket plastic tab to slide into the slot. 8. Push the scanner towards the plastic tab and rotate it so that it is perpendicular to the mounting surface. 9. Release the pressure on the scanner. The bracket locks into place.
Quick Reference Guide Detaching the Scanner from the Mounting Bracket To detach the scanner: 1. Grasp the scanner firmly on both sides. 2. Squeeze the back of the scanner slightly while pushing the scanner in the direction of the slot on the back. 3. Rotate the front of the scanner away from the mounting bracket until the bracket pops out of the slot. Scanning Bar Codes Install and program the scanner. (Refer to the LS7708 Product Reference Guide for programming instructions.
Symbol LS7708 Active Scan Area The active scan area is the area in front of the scanner window in which a bar code can be decoded. The dotted area represents the active scan area. 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.
Quick Reference Guide 11 Selecting Beeper Volume The scanner emits a short beep when it successfully reads a bar code. The volume of the beep is changed by scanning one of the beeper volume bar codes in the LS7708 Product Reference Guide, or by using the Volume Control & Wakeup button on the front of the scanner as follows: 1. Press and hold the button for approximately five seconds. The scanner cycles through three settings (low, medium, high), emitting a two-beep tone at each setting. 2.
Symbol LS7708 Beeper Sequence Indication 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 scanning a USB Device Type. Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power level.
Quick Reference Guide 13 LED Definitions In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user via an LED display. The Standard LED Definitions table defines LED indications 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 red flashing, green on The scanner is in programming mode.
Symbol LS7708 Troubleshooting Problem 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. Possible Causes Possible Solutions No power to the scanner. 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.
Quick Reference Guide Problem 15 Possible Causes Possible Solutions Scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host. Scanner is not programmed to work with the host. Check scanner host type parameters or editing options. Ensure proper host is selected. For RS-232, ensure the scanner’s communication parameters match the host’s settings. For keyboard wedge, ensure scanner is programmed with the correct country code and that the CAPS LOCK key is off. Ensure editing options (e.g.
Symbol LS7708 Programming Generally, the technical person in charge of scanning customizes the scanner for the particular application using programming bar codes found in the LS7708 Product Reference Guide. If the user is programming the scanner, the LS7708 Product Reference Guide should be consulted for more information. Following are some frequently used programming bar codes. NOTE For additional host types, refer to the LS7708 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72-69531-xx, available at http://www.
Quick Reference Guide 17 Set Defaults Scanning this bar code sets all parameters to their factory default values. Set Defaults Host Type Selection If a Synapse cable (i.e., part number STIxx-xxxx) is used, the scanner autodetects the type of host, so there is no need to scan host type selection bar codes. If a USB interface is used, the scanner autodetects the USB and defaults to the HID keyboard interface. See page 28 to select the IBM Hand-Held host type.
