the scanner will turn off if the scanner has been dormant for a specified time. to reactivate the unit, direct the output window up then down toward the bar coded product. if the unit has been dormant for longer than 10 minutes, reactivating the unit by pressing the button on the side of the ms6130 will be necessary.
when the scanner first receives power, the steady red led will flash, followed by the green led.
when the laser is on, the red led will also be on. this occurs when an object is in the scan field. if the scanner does not detect a bar code within approximately 2.5 seconds, the red led will shut off indicating that the laser is no longer on. if the red led remains on for longer than 7.5 seconds, then the scanner is in program mode.
when the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green led will flash. if the green led does not flash, then the bar code read was not successful.
when the red led flashes several times while it lays upon a stationary surface, then an object is within the scan field and is activating the ir sensor. this can occur even while the scanner is lying upon the counter or cradle.
to eliminate this disturbance, direct the scan window toward a different location.
