Introduction

The LS3008 scanner combines excellent scanning performance and

advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser

scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in

a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended

periods of time. Before programming the scanner, scan the appropriate

bar code(s), beginning on page 8, to communicate with the host.

Parts

Inserting and Removing the Interface Cable

To connect the interface cable, insert the interface cable’s modular

connector into the cable interface port.

To remove the interface cable, unplug the installed cable’s modular

connector by depressing the connector clip with the tip of a screwdriver.

Beeper Definitions

The scanner issues different beep sequences and patterns to indicate

status. The table below defines beep sequences that occur during both

normal scanning and while programming the scanner.

Beeper Sequence Indication

Standard Use

Low/medium/high beep Power up.

Short high beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is

enabled).

4 long low beeps A transmission error was detected in a scanned

symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not

properly configured. Check option setting.

5 low beeps Conversion or format error.

Low/high/low beep ADF transmit error.

High/high/high/low beep RS-232 receive error.

Parameter Menu Scanning

Short high beep Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence

performed.

Low/high beep Input error, incorrect bar code or “Cancel” scanned,

wrong entry, incorrect bar code programming

sequence; remain in program mode.

High/low beep Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using bar

code keypad.

High/low/high/low beep Successful program exit with change in the parameter

setting.

Low/high/low/high beep Out of host parameter storage space. Scan

Set

Defaults on page 8

Code 39 Buffering

High/low beep New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer.

3 Beeps - long high beep Code 39 buffer is full.

LED Definitions

In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the

user using a two-color LED display. The table below defines LED colors

that display during scanning.

Low/high/low beep The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an

attempt to clear or transmit an empty buffer.

Low/high 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.

This power-up beep

occurs more than once. The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where

power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than

once. This is normal and usually happens when the

host PC cold boots.

RS-232 only

1 short high beep A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is

enabled.

LED Indication

Off No power is applied to the scanner, or the scanner is

on and ready to scan.

Green A bar code was successfully decoded.

Red A data transmission error or scanner malfunction

occurred.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions

Nothing happens

when the trigger is

pulled.

No power to the

scanner. Check the system power. Ensure the

power supply is connected if the

configuration requires a power supply.

Interface/power

cables are loose. Check for loose cable connections.

Laser comes on,

but symbol does

not decode.

Scanner is not

programmed for the

correct bar code

type.

Ensure the scanner is programmed to

read the type of bar code scanned.

RefertotheLS3008ProductReference

Guide, p/n 72E-86092-xx, for more

information.

Bar code symbol is

unreadable. Check the symbol to ensure it is not

defaced. Try scanning test symbols of

the same bar code type.

Distance between

scanner and bar

code is incorrect.

Move the scanner closer to or further

from the bar code.

Symbolisdecoded

but not transmitted

to the host.

Scanner is not

programmed for the

correct host type.

Scan the appropriate host type bar

code.

Scanned data is

incorrectly

displayed on the

host.

Scanner is not

programmed to work

with the host.

Ensure proper host is selected.

Check the scanner’s host type

parameters or editing options.

For RS-232, ensure the scanner’s

communication parameters match the

host’s settings.

For a keyboard wedge configuration,

ensure the system is programmed for

the correct keyboard type, and the

CAPS LOCK key is off.

Ensure editing options (e.g., UPC-E to

UPC-A conversion) are properly

programmed.

Programming Bar Codes

Following are some frequently used programming bar codes.

Set Defaults

Scan SET DEFAULTS to set all parameters to their default values.

SET DEFAULTS

Scanning Modes

Scan the appropriate bar code below to determine the scanning pattern.

•SINGLE LINE ONLY - No up and down scan line movement (no

raster).

•MULTI-LINE SMART RASTER - The scan line begins as a single line

and moves up and down (rasters) when a partial scan of a bar code is

detected, or no bar code is decoded 500 ms after the trigger is pulled.

•MULTI-LINE ALWAYS RASTER (default) - Rastering (up and down

scan line movement) begins immediately.

SINGLE LINE ONLY

MULTI-LINE SMART RASTER

MULTI-LINE ALWAYS RASTER (Default)

NOTE For additional host types, refer to the LS3008 Product Reference

Guide, p/n 72E-86092-xx, available on the LS3008 CD, or on the

Symbol website: http://www.symbol.com/manuals.

Quick Reference Guide 9

Host Type

If a Synapse cable is used (i.e., part number STIxx-xxxx), the scanner

autodetects the Synapse cable and there is no need to scan bar codes to

enable the Synapse host.

If a USB interface is used, the scanner autodetects the USB and defaults

to the HID keyboard interface. See page 12 to select the IBM hand-held

host type. Refer to the LS3008 Product Reference Guide, p/n

72E-86092-xx, for additional USB host types.

If a Keyboard Wedge, RS-232, Wand Emulation, Scanner Emulation, or

IBM 46XX is used, the appropriate host type must be scanned. Select

the appropriate host type from the bar codes that follow.
