Second, let's review how to deal with worn, damaged or covered bar codes:

Many times, the bar code may be ripped, faded of poor quality or has been covered with a

clear protective overlay. If a bar code does not immediately scan then slowly move the

scan beam from the top of the bar code to the bottom. This gives the scanner a better

chance to find “good spots” within the bar code, if the protective overlay is not totally flat or

clear the light can be refracted to such an extent that permanent errors and the complete

inability to read the bar code underneath can result. In cases like this the solution lies with

replacing the covered bar code and not with the bar code reader.

What if there's no scan at all?

If no scan: check condition of battery charge, replace or recharge battery if necessary.

Scanning distance may vary depending on bar code size and density, scanning distances can

range between: 2.5 – 20 cm.

Refracted light from the protective overlay may be causing distorted reflections of the image.

Good Scan: Green LED On-Off with one short beep (High tone) and beeper pitch and

duration programmable and scanning beam turns off. Note: the green light time on period is

user programmable.

Memory Full: red LED blinks on – off quickly, 2 short beeps (High Low Tone).

MEMORY MODES

The Cipher 1560/62 BT employs two distinct methods of memory usage, when the 1560/62

BT is being used as a conventional bar code reader it uses a 4 Kb transmit buffer that can

store approximately 256 scans based on EAN-13 sized bar codes. This transmit buffer is a

temporary storage area that is used to cater for those situations when the host computer is

unable to receive the data immediately or when the user of the scanner has wandered out of

range of the Bluetooth communications stand (approx. 90 Metres). You are advised to get

back within range if using Bluetooth and have received a transmit buffer full warning, data in

the transmit buffer can be lost if the scanner is turned off or the battery power becomes low.

In contrast the Cipher 1560/62 BT employs a memory mode buffer of 512-Kb non-volatile

flash memory for data storage when the 1560/62 BT is being operated specifically in remote

memory (batch) mode. The 512-Kb non-volatile flash memory is capable of securely storing in

excess of 32768 (13 digit) EAN-13 sized bar codes, data in the 512-Kb non-volatile flash

memory is NOT lost if the scanner is turned off or the battery power becomes low.

Hands Free Auto-Detect Stand operation (Model 1560 only).

The Cipher 1560 can be optionally coupled with the Cipher 3656 communications

stand/cradle to allow the scanner to be used hands free while seated in the cradle. The 3656

communications stand is very versatile and can be adjusted by the user to accommodate the

scanner at the angle and position desired. When operated this way the user only needs to

bring the bar code up to and within the 1560 scanner’s normal reading depth of field to obtain

a reading, the scanner hand piece does not require to be held.

The process used to detect the presence of a bar code when operating in the Auto-Detect

mode requires the ambient light conditions of the immediate work vicinity to be of good

intensity. If the light conditions are adequate (> 150 Lux) then the accompanying Dataman

created barcode setup chart can be used to set the Auto Sense detector to ON.

Sequentially scan each barcode in the left-hand column starting at the top with the “ENTER

SETUP” barcode followed by the “AUTO SENSE ON” and finishing with the “UPDATE-EXIT”

barcode.

Should it be discovered that the Auto Detect process works intermittently or not at all then it is

possible that the ambient light conditions of the work area are of insufficient strength for this

process to function correctly (> 150 Lux required). If this is found to be the case it will be

necessary to adopt the alternate hands free mode of operation called the “Continuous Scan

Mode” by following the appropriate flow chart route on the Dataman barcode setup chart.
