Barcode Scanner Preventive Maintenance

Overview

This page is meant to guide the LaundryCard end user with tips on how to clean their barcode scanner and how to adjust their Motorola/Symbol or Zebra scanner (P/N: C-1023).

Required items

• Lint-free cloth

• Windex

• Philips head screwdriver

Cleaning procedure

Frequency: Every two months

The lens of the scanner should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Windex.

Never spray anything directly onto the barcode scanner. It is suggested to lightly moisten the cloth and wipe clean the eye of the barcode scanner.

Adjusting scanner

If you are experiencing an abnormally high amount of cards being dispensed in error or escrow, then your scanner may be misaligned.

1. Slide the C-1024C bracket completely to the right, then rotate it clockwise so the silver connector at the top is pointing to about 2 minutes after midnight on the face of a clock (use the image below for reference).

2. Screw in the scanner set screw located just to the left of the scanner and tighten slightly. It is now time to test the adjustment.

1. Slowly adjust the scanner in millimeter increments by twisting the assembly clockwise while dispensing cards incrementally to test the adjustment.

2. Adjusting the scanner requires some trial and error as the multi-laser design of the scanner means there is no single perfect alignment.

3. CCI recommends successfully dispensing 25-50 cards in a row before tightening the set screw and then testing another 25-50 cards with the door closed and locked.
