The scanner will not scan any barcodes. The red light lights up but nothing ever happens

Unplug the scanner, then power it on again. If it reads once and then stops, it is a configuration error such as bad cable or wrong settings in register. If it doesn't read straight after power up, try scanning the 'start' barcode in the scanner's programming manual. It should always be able to read this code. If it reads it, you have a setting fault in the scanner and you need to re-program it to read UPC and EAN codes again. If it reads none of the above codes after power up, have it checked by a dealer

use the manual and reset it, scan the default settings or reset to factory settings, load defaults

you have to re-teach the scanner

Hand held bar code readers need to be programmed for your specific application.
Programming is by UPC code.

Both ends of your cable need to be plugged in. Plug a ps2 keyboard into the 2nd end of your cable and reboot.

It could be either one of two things, first of all will this unit scan any barcodes, or is it just one particular one it will not scan. If nothing scans and if no special programming was added to the scanner I would consider defaulting the unit back to factory settings. This procedure can be found in the manual that came with the scanner or here is a link http://www.honeywellaidc.com/CatalogDocuments/00-02544%20Rev%20K%202-11.pdf *** If you are going to do this please confirm that no special programming was done to this *** but normally they are ready to scan right out the box. So scan the barcode to "enter/exit configuration" the unit will beep tree times, then scan the "recall defaults" and the unit will beep once. Then scan the "enter/exit configuration" once more. Then try to scan a retail barcode. Hope this helps.

I think you've answered your own question. Spilling water on any electrical equipment will inevitable cause failures. It requires a repair, which we can do for you.

These devices do fail, so that is most likely what has happened here.

Here's a link to the page where you can download all the manuals, software, etc for that unit. You might need to cut and paste it into your browser's address bar. Godd luck!

You are likely experiencing power sag. If you are using a 15 foot usb cable try a 6 foot one instead. Even if that doesn't work it still could be power sag.

We sell an external power cable kit that replaces your USB cable with one that includes a power pack on the computer side.

The power pack provides the extra power you need.

It happens when it does becuase when the laser comes on more power is needed than available. The 5 VDC sags and the processor whigs out on you.

If you are using magellan 1000i with no button, then it must be your scanner broken. But If you use a button trigger try to push it a while. The Button is on top of the scanner,with a white / light green color.
