Resolution / Answer
Scan one of the configuration barcodes below to Suppress Startup Beeps:
- Suppress Startup Beeps (without Factory reset)
- Suppress Startup Beeps (with the initial Factory reset, erases all previously configured settings)
If the scanner does not accept the programming barcode, it may be timing out accepting it.
On Android tablets, ensure that an input field is selected or the scanner will not be activated.
From suspended tablet, perform the steps below:
(This may not work on Android tablets).
(This may not work on Android tablets).
