A stainless steel in-counter mounting kit (p/n 12-17206-02R) is required for all models. See the Mounting Instructions and EAS Installation Guide for mounting/installation instructions.

Operating the Scanner Parts

Power

The LS7808 does not have an on/off switch. It is ready to scan when connected to a power supply.

Indicator Lights

The scanner employs an LED with a combination of red and green lights to indicate operation and decode status. See LED Definitions on page 10 for the different light combinations and their meanings.

If the scanner is not operating normally, contact the technical person in charge of scanning, or call Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support (see details on the back cover).

Sleep Mode

The scanner automatically enters Sleep mode when it has been inactive for a specified length of time. The scanner has two levels of sleep: laser and motor. In laser sleep mode, after ten seconds of inactivity the laser pulses at a 50 % rate, and then drops to 3 % after a specified time. In motor sleep mode, the scanner is programmed to turn off the motor and the laser.

To wake the scanner from sleep mode, present a bar code at the scanner window.

Beeper Volume

The scanner emits a short beep when it successfully reads a bar code. The volume of the beep is changed electronically by a command sent by the host, or by scanning one of the beeper volume bar codes in the LS7808 Product Reference Guide. See Beeper Definitions on page 8.

Connections

The scanner's ports are at the lower edge of the scanner. Remove the connection cover to access the ports.

Routing the Cables

The scanner case has several channels to route the outgoing cables so that they are organized and don't hinder the scanner's placement. After placing the cable connectors in the appropriate scanner ports, route the cables through the nearest channel.

For a cable with a Y-connector (containing both power and interface connectors):

1. Connect the power and interface cables to the appropriate ports.
2. Route the cables according to the following diagram.

Diagram of a network device showing ports, cables, and connectors (no text or labels)

Installing the Scanner

The LS7808 mounts in the counter with the face of the scanner flush with the counter top. Refer to the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for detailed installation instructions.

Scanning Bar Codes

Install and program the scanner. Refer to the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for programming instructions. For assistance, contact the local supplier or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support (see details on the back cover).

To scan a bar code:

1. Ensure all cable connections are secure.
2. Orient the item with the bar code facing the scanner window.
3. Move the item through the active scan area (see page 8) in the direction of the scan arrow, or place the item in front of the scanner.

1. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the green LED flashes momentarily.

Active Scan Area

The active scan area, in front of the scanner window, is optimized to scan items as they move in the direction of the scan arrow.

The dotted areas below represent the active scan area.

Beeper Definitions

The scanner communicates with the user by emitting different beeper sequences and patterns. See the Beeper Indications table below for beeper sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.

Beeper Sequence Indication
Standard Use
3 high beeps Power up.
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 the scanner is not properly configured. Check option setting.
5 low beeps Conversion or format error.
High-high-high-low beeps	RS-232 receive error on RS-232 host or RS-232 auxiliary port.
Code 39 Buffering
High-low beep New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer.
3 long high beeps Code 39 buffer is full.
Low-high-low beeps The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an attempt to clear or transmit an empty buffer.
Low-high beeps 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 PC cold boots.
RS-232 Host only
High beep A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is enabled.
RS-232 Auxiliary Port only
High beep A complete	block of data was received and sent to the host, either due to a carriage return or because the two-second serial response timeout has elapsed.
4 long low beeps A data overrun condition has occurred. Abstain from scanning data from other ports when large amounts of data are sent to the RS-232 Auxiliary port.

LED Definitions

In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user via an LED display. The Standard LED Definitions table defines LED indications that display during scanning.

LED Indication
Off No power is applied to the scanner.
Green The scanner is on and ready to scan.
Momentary flash A bar code was successfully decoded.
Slow continuous red flashing, green on The scanner is in programming mode.
Fast continuous red flashing, green on There is an internal problem; the laser is shut off for regulatory reasons.
Green on (and laser blinking) Scanner is in low power blink mode.
Red and green on Scanner is in low power (sleep) mode and laser shutdown mode.

Maintenance

Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. A dirty or scratched window may affect scanning activity.

• Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.
• Wipe the window with a tissue moistened with ammonia or water.

To clean the exit window:

1. Insert a coin into the large screw heads on the front of the scanner and turn counter-clockwise.
2. Lift off the window.
3. Wipe clean the underside of the upper window.
4. Wipe clean the top surface of the lower window.
5. Re-install the top cover by tightening the two large screws.

To change the exit window:

1. Remove the window as described above.
2. Replace with a new window.
3. Reinstall the top cover by tightening the two large screws.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Causes Possible Solutions
The omni-line scan pattern does not display when you follow the directions for installing the host cable.	No power to the scanner.	Ensure the host has power, and is on. If the scanner uses a separate power supply, ensure it's connected to a working AC outlet.Power-up sequence is incorrect. Refer to the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for more information.
	Interface cable is not properly connected.	Check for loose cable connections.
Scan line(s) display, but bar code cannot be read.	Scanner is not programmed to read the bar code type.	Ensure scanner is programmed to read the bar code type you are scanning.
	Bar code is damaged. Try scanning other bar codes of the same bar code type.
	Bar code is too far from scanner.	Move the bar code closer to the scanner.
	The host has disabled scanning or overridden parameter settings.	See the technical person in charge of scanning.
Bar code is decoded, 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. Check scanner host type parameters or editing options.	Ensure proper host is selected.For RS-232, ensure the scanner's communication parameters match the host's settings.For keyboard wedge, ensure scanner is programmed with the correct country code and that the CAPS LOCK key is off.Ensure editing options (e.g., UPCE-to-UPCA Conversion) are properly programmed.
Although the green and red LEDs are on, the scanner does not produce the omni-directional scan pattern.	The scanner has gone into the low power “Motor Sleep” mode.	Move a bar coded item over the active scan area to awaken the unit.
USB or Synapse host not functioning properly.	Scanner does not recognize host.	Remove and reinsert external power supply to force cable to autodetect correct host.

NOTE If the symbol still does not scan, contact distributor or call Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. See the back cover for contact information.

Programming

Generally, the technical person in charge of scanning customizes the scanner for the particular application using programming bar codes found in the LS7808 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-73952-XX. If the user is programming the scanner, consult the LS7808 Product Reference Guide for more information.

Following are some frequently used programming bar codes.
