LC-305S optical reader needs to be
locked in place to make a trip safely.
The LC-305S processes supply
receipts by reading a laser card and
showing you the data on your com-
puter terminal. It doesn’t take much
vibration to the optical head inside the
reader to cause damage. Your reader
won’t be doing any reading if its
internal glass mirrors are broken or the
optical head is misaligned.
To make sure that doesn’t happen,
the shipping set lock on the rear of the
reader must be used anytime the reader
is moved. That means even from desk
to desk.
Pick up the LC-305S and very gen-
tly tilt it up and down. Just as gently
tilt it from left to right.
Gently! This is not a shake.
Just a
slight tilt.
The shipping lock is set if you don’t
hear a sound from anything moving
inside the reader.
If you hear a sound, like a clunk or
clicking noise, that’s the unsecured op-
tical laser head hitting the optical head
retainer. Set the shipping lock again.
If you still hear that sound, turn the
reader in for repair or replacement. The
shipping lock is not working.
When the reader’s trip is over, re-
lease the lock
before
connecting the
power and turning on the LC-305S.
Just turn the shipping lock switch
counter clockwise until the arrow
points to the UNLOCK position. The
shipping lock will then be released and
you’re ready to use the reader.
If you do not release the shipping
lock before turning on the LC-305S,
the Loaded/Busy indicator will show
red and you will not be able to process
data.
If you have questions about service,
warranty or maintenance of the
reader, call the Intermec Hotline at
1-800-892-7007. Or e-mail them at:
