Operating the LS 5300 Scanner

Turning it on
The LS 5300 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 just below 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 - This means 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. As long as this light is off, the scanner will
not decode the same bar code again. This helps to prevent
accidental double reads.
• Green light on, red light on - The scanner is asleep. See
Sleep Mode, on page 5.
• Anything else - This includes, 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 see the LS 5300
Product Reference Guide for the number of the Symbol
Support Center.
