Quick Reference

Purpose

This Quick Reference Guide is designed to assist you during

routine LS 5700/LS 5800 operation. Detailed information

about unpacking, installation, performance speciﬁcations,

and troubleshooting can be found in the

LS 5700/LS 5800

Product Reference Guide

Product Description

The LS 5700 and LS 5800 high performance omni-directional

laser scanners read bar codes quickly and accurately with

a minimum of effort. Electrical Article Surveillance (EAS)

compatibility which allows simultaneous bar code reads

and radio frequency tag deactivation is offered as an option.

Except for mounting orientation and installation, both scanners

are similar in most other areas. Unless otherwise noted, this

guide will apply equally to the LS 5700 and LS 5800.

LS 5700

The LS 5700 is designed to rest on top of the counter.

Quick Reference

LS 5800

The LS 5800 mounts in the counter with the face of the scanner

ﬂush with the counter top. The LS 5800 is available with a

stainless steel top cover and scratch-proof scan window option.

It is well suited for the most demanding applications, where

hard goods such as bottles and cans are dragged across the

scanner.

Operating the LS 5700/LS 5800 Scanner

Turning On

The LS 5700/LS 5800 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 inside 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 - The scanner is on, waiting to

decode a symbol.

• Green light off brieﬂy - A bar code has been successfully

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

conﬁrm this.

• Green light on, red light on - The scanner is asleep. See

Rest/Sleep Mode

, on page 8.

• Anything else - Including 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 call the

Symbol

Support Center

at the telephone number on page 8.

Controls

The LS 5700 has a push button near the top right corner. This

push button is to both adjust the volume and tone of the beeper,

and to wake the scanner from its rest or sleep mode.

When the scanner is operating, depress this button to adjust the

volume/tone. Hold down the button until the desired sound is

obtained. There are ﬁve distinct volume/tone combinations.

Each combination beeps two times before cycling to the next

sound.

If the scanner is in a rest or sleep mode, depressing this push

button brieﬂy awakens the scanner.

Programming

Generally, the technical person in charge of scanning

customizes the scanner for your particular application using

programming bar codes found in the

LS 5700/LS 5800

Product Reference Guide

. If you are programming the scanner

yourself, consult the

Product Reference Guide

for more

information.

Scanning a Bar Code

The dotted areas below represent the active scan area.

Quick Reference

Scanning a Bar Code

For the best scanning performance, the counter top or surface

area covered by the active scan area should be free of any de-

signs (e.g. stripes or patterns). Ideally, that area should be a light

solid color. To scan a bar code, move an item through the active

scan area in the direction of the arrows, with the bar code label

facing the scan window. The scanner beeps when a bar code has

been decoded successfully.

Quick Reference

Rest/Sleep Mode

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

scanner enters a rest or reduced power mode. The default is 30

minutes. You can change this period of time by scanning the

appropriate bar code in the

Product Reference Guide

. This mode

saves power and extends the life of the scanner. The

LS 5700/LS 5800 automatically awakens as soon as you pass

a bar coded item past the scan window.

The LS 5700 also has a programmable shut-down sleep option

that turns off the laser and the motor. The scanner can be

awakened from this mode or the rest mode by momentarily

depressing the push button on the top right corner. When you

press this button, the scanner emits two beeps. The volume

and tone settings remain unchanged.

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, call the Symbol Support Center at
