Symbol Scanner Maintenance Tips

In an effort to avoid long-term issues with your Symbol barcode scanners and other hardware, there are a few key best practices you'll want to follow.


Whenever you are executing a data transmission, for example, don’t remove a scanner from a cradle or place it in one. Moving a scanner like this can cause a variety of problems. 


Along the same lines, you'll always want to take care to keep your Symbol scanner free from dust, dirt, and water. Doing so can damage the sensitive electronics inside, which can cause immediate or long term problems with the scanner.

Common Symbol Scanner Problems

Even though Symbol is known for manufacturing high quality barcode scanners along with other equipment, there are still a number of common issues that you may encounter. These include situations like:


  • Normal wear and tear-related damage. Regardless of how careful you are, sensitive electronics will eventually begin to show signs of age. This make takes the form of keys that don't work, , damaged or cracked LCD screens, network connectivity issues, and others.
  • A loss of power. No power can be caused by a variety of issues. Sometimes batteries wear out and need to be replaced; although you don’t need to buy batteries from the manufacturer, make sure you purchase good quality batteries and don’t buy on price alone. If replacing the battery doesn’t fix the issue then the scanner will most likely need to be repaired, and this is still very cost effective  compared to buying a new scanner. 
  • Poor scanning quality. If the scan engine inside your Symbol barcode scanner becomes damaged, it may not be able to read things like barcodes accurately. When that time comes, having your equipment serviced by professionals becomes a necessity.
