Chapter 4 Applications
22 Applications This Scanner as a Core Module of your Application Solutions Barcodes have become a distinguishing mark of modern civilization. The familiar stripes are popping up almost everywhere in everyday life: libraries, retail stores, supermarkets, post offices, bill payment for services, law firms, shipping companies, enterprises, distributors, manufacturers, hospitals, etc.
Applications 23 Building a competitive infrastructure Synchronizing supply with demand Creating high profitability Trimming operational costs Although the applicable areas of barcode are extremely varied, the purpose is the same: improving data/materials management and reducing operation costs. All of these require a high performance barcode scanning solution. In all barcode-based solutions, the core unit is the barcode scanning module.

If troubles occur, take a moment to read the information in this section. However, before referring to the diagnostic tips ensure that the scanner is installed as described in Chapter 2 and that all cables are properly connected. Problem Diagnostic Tips The scanner is on but a barcode cannot be read. The scanner window is dirty.
29 Appendices The data format is not supported by the software running on the host system. USB communication is not working. In case of KB emulation you can select various „keyboard languages‟ or the universal „Alt-input-method‟ (default). You may want to try programming barcodes from section 3.4 on the Configuration Guide. In case of KB emulation in combination with the Alt-input method, check that Num-Lock of your keyboard is on.
