Print PageWhat if there's no scan at all?
If no scan: check battery placement and orientation, replace batteries 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 stays on for 40 Milliseconds (default), 1 x short beep (High Tone), 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 1660 BT employs two distinct methods of memory usage, when the 1660 BT is
being used as a conventional bar code reader it uses a 1 Kb transmit buffer that can store
approximately 64 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 transponder (approx. 10 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 1660 BT employs a memory mode buffer of 256-Kb non-volatile flash
memory for data storage when the 1660 BT is being operated specifically in remote memory
(batch) mode. The 256-Kb non-volatile flash memory is capable of securely storing in excess
of 16000 (13 digit) EAN-13 sized bar codes, data in the 256-Kb non-volatile flash memory is
NOT lost if the scanner is turned off or the battery power becomes low.
LED INDICATOR
The triple-colour LED on top of the scanner is used to provide user feedback. For example,
the LED becomes solid red and goes off quickly when powering on or running out of transmit
buffer. The difference between the above two examples can be determined by the beeps – a
long beep of high tone indicates powering on and a long beep of low tone indicates that the
transmit buffer has become full.

MEANING
Power off.
•
Power on, with one long beep (high tone).
•
Transmit buffer full, with one long beep (low tone).
•
Memory full, with two short beeps (high-low tone).
Good read, with one short beep (high tone) and
beeper pitch and duration programmable.
Waiting for connection only while the LED is flashing
blue –
•
SPP: waiting host to connect.
•
HID: trying to connect to host.
Dynamic PIN code request from host (flashing more
quickly than waiting connection).
Bluetooth connection established.
Dynamic PIN code input error.
CPU running at low speed, for example, after
Bluetooth connection out of range.
