PSC 6000 Plus not scanning

We have Datalogic QuickScan 6000 Plus scanners attached to PSC Powerwedge 20 Dual FD-000-22. We recently had to replace one of the scanners, but it's not reading any barcodes. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the original setup, so I do not know if there was any programming involved. Is there a test mode or reset that will let me know if the scanner is working? Thanks.

There are a few questions:

What kind of cable do you use?
USB, SERIAL, PS2

What kind of computer?
Normal computer or Laptop?

Then...

When you recieve the scanner like new you always have to program it.

First you do

Reset to factory defaults.... Never do this with working scanners

then

you have to program it.

First the Connection type
and then if needed a computer type.

After that you usually have to scan a suffix.

This means when you scan a barcode it needs to do something after.

normally it doesn't give Enter after you scan.
That is what the suffix is for.

and then you scan additional symbologies to scan

Like Code 39, UPC A etc. etc.

It needs to be programmed with the manual you recieved.
if you don't have it you can download here.

http://www.scanning.datalogic.com/sitefiles/manuals.aspx

go down in the list to quickscan 6000
and programming manual.

please don't print all the pages. only what you need.

If you need more help i will hear it.

good luck.

    Ah is see.



    So the scanner is connected to the extra port on the scale by RS232 or a serial connection.



    The toledo scale is connected to the pc with ps2.



    In this case you have to program the scanner by cable type rs232.



    usually it's



    baudrate 9600

    no parity

    1 bit parity.



    First i would go to this manual.

    https://easeofaccess.scanning.datalogic....



    When i say a page number i mean the number in pdf up not what is printed on the paper.

    go to page 6 and print it. scan the barcode return to factory.

    then again page 6 and scan "scan this label to enable rs232 interface.



    then go to page 7 and print it.

    scan set then i think 9600 (if it doesn't work you can alway scan return to factory and retry another)



    then page 8 and scan parity "none"

    stop bit 1

    data bits 8

    and scan end.



    and try.



    NOTE!



    when you scan bar codes of programming you usually have to begin with scanning barcode "SET" and if you are finished you have to scan "END"



    The scanner will bleep one time if its good and if its bad it gives you to short bleeps if i remember well.



    good luck

QuickScan 6000 Plus cant get it to work with windows 7. If i use ps2 port, the red scanninglight dissapears after one scan. If I use an converter ps2 --> usb and plug it in usb port, it seems to work...

try the other usb ports. sometimes that works. also make sure that your other usb devices are off if possible. If you are using a usb keyboard try using a ps/2 keyboard. If you have an open usb port in the front try using that instead. I have seen this many times. Good luck.

Driver for psc quickscan 6000 plus scanner

Hi!

Your PSC QuickScan 6000 should not require any drivers. If this unit plugs into your keyboard port, you should be able to scan a barcode and view the data results in a text editor, such as Notepad. This technology is called "Keyboard Wedge" and consists of a cable with three ends. The first is plugged into your hand-held scanner. The second and third are rather close together and are at the end of the cable. This cable is called a "Y" cable because it resembles the uppercase letter "Y". The bottom part of the "Y" plugs into your scanner, while the first upper part plugs into your computer. The second upper part of the "Y" should be a female plug, allowing you to plug your keyboard into it.

Now if you are using a Keyboard Wedge scanner with a USB keyboard, the female end of the "Y" cable would not have anything plugged into. Unfortunately, the scanner will most likely not operate properly if no keyboard is attached to the keyboard port.

I suspect you may have an RS232 or "serial" scanner. Does your scanner have a power supply that plugs into a standard wall outlet? If so, you may have a serial interface scanner. You could use a program called Com to Keyboard, which would convert RS232 or "serial" data into keyboard data. This is a free program, however, it is a resource hog and may slow your system down.


Feel free to call if you have any additional questions.
Good Luck & I Hope this helps!

Problems with very small Barcodes

Default settings set a global limit of 4.

You can set the global minimum code length by following the instructions in the user manual on page 24:

1) Start
2) Set Global Min Length
3) Scan the number on page 303: I.e. '0' followed by '3' to set length to 3
4) Set
5) End

I need an owners manual

If your cables are connected between your keyboard and PC, be sure to set up the correct Keyboard Wedge Parameters, beginning on Page 34, to allow connectivity.
I'd start by scannig barcodes "CE" and "ZA" to reset to default wedge values. If that doesn't work, I'd procede to sc an "CF" for PC=AT,PS/2.
Pages 36 & 37 address the Caps Lock issue, where the scanned value is in the wrong upper or lower case.

Have a nice day,
