Troubleshooting Steps
Cause | Solution | |
---|---|---|
1 | Failed to Scan | Try again If the scan LED (marked with ) on the PM3 blinks red once when you scan a barcode, it means the scanning failed. Try again aiming the barcode properly while keeping the distance enough. |
2 | Disabled symbology | Enable the symbology Find out the symbology type of the barcode you want to scan. And then, navigate to Admin Menu > If disabled, press scan button to enable the symbology and try to scan the barcode again. |
3 | Bluetooth not connected | Connect Bluetooth Check if the PM3 is connected to a host device. When the PM3 is connected to a host device properly, the Bluetooth LED indicator (marked with) lights blue. |
4 | Configuration issue | Reset PM3 If the problem is still there, perform the factory reset. There might be a configuration that affects scanning behavior. Navigate to Admin Menu > Sys. Setings > Factory Reset. Caution: After factory reset, all settings will be initialized, and the saved barcode in the storage will be deleted. |
