Product Description

The LS 5400

TheLS5400isaspecialin-counterversionoftheLS5300thathas

a stainless steel top and scratch resistant glass. This scanner is

ideal for more demanding settings where hard goods such as

cans and bottles are frequently scanned. In all other aspects, the

LS5400 is identical to theLS5300.So, unless noted otherwise, all

references to the LS 5300 will also apply to the LS 5400.

Operating the LS 5300 Scanner

Turning it on

The LS 5300 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 just below 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 -

This means the scanner is

on, waiting to decode a symbol.

• Green light off brieﬂy -

Abar code has been successfully

decoded. You will also hear a beep from the scanner to

conﬁrm this. As long as this light is off, the scanner will

not decode the same bar code again. This helps to prevent

accidental double reads.

• Green light on, red light on -

The scanner is asleep. See

Sleep Mode, on page 5.

• Anything else -

This includes, 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 see the LS 5300

Product Reference Guide for the number of the Symbol

Support Center.

Operating the LS 5300 Scanner

Programming

Generally, the technical person in charge of scanning will

customize the scanner for your particular application through

the use of programming bar codes, which are found in the

LS 5300 Product Reference Guide. If you are programming the

scanner yourself, consult the Product Reference Guide for more

information.

Scanning a Bar Code

The shaded areas below represent the scan pattern. For the best

scanning performance, the countertop or surface area covered

by the scan pattern should be free of any designs (e.g. stripes,

patterns). Ideally, that area should be a light, solid color. To scan

a bar code, move an item through the scan pattern, in the

direction of the arrows, with the bar code label facing the

scanner window. The scanner will beep when a bar code has

been decoded successfully.

Scan pattern

Sleep Mode

If there is no scanning activity for a speciﬁed period of time,

the scanner will enter a “sleep” mode. You select this period of

time by scanning the appropriate bar code in the Product

Reference Guide. This sleep mode saves power and extends

the life of the scanner. The LS 5300 will automatically awaken

as soon as you pass a bar coded item past the scan window.

What If...

If the scanner is not operating according to your needs, contact

the technical person in charge of scanning. If there is no one in

charge of scanning, see the LS 5300 Product Reference Guide for

the number of the Symbol Support Center.

Some Helpful Bar Codes

You can adjust the volume and the frequency (tone) of the

scanner’s beeper by scanning the appropriate bar codes

beginning on page 31.
