First, please find the touchscreen tool ( usually located  on the Windows task bar in the bottom right hand corner, or in the control panel.) use the calibration tool in this to ensure screen calibration is correct. If the tool says there is no controller, please try to re install it the touch controller application (The correct one can be found in our Useful Downloads section). If the re-installation does not cure the issue you are having it may be that the touch controller or another component is faulty. Please contact our help desk for further assistance.

There are a couple of things that may cause slow print. To get full printer speed, please update the Windows driver to the latest version (This can be found in our Useful Downloads section). Also, we recommend if you are able to use a USB port instead of the RS232 port, as the throughput of data is greater with USB. When printing using the Windows driver please remember that the driver is converting everything to graphic so the data size is larger. In this case consider communicating with the printer by sending a text files (using ESC/POS command language) to the communication port directly. Our help desk can provide assistance in doing this and Programming Guides are available in our Useful Downloads section. 

There is a chance that 3rd party software can cause problems. Perform a hard reset, the device will re install the Operating System automatically and return to factory defaults. During this process please be aware that any data on the device will be deleted. Please refer to the manual for the hard reset procedure. If the problem still exists, please contact our Technical Support Team.

The most common problem is a broken mirror. Where there is crack on the mirror, the beam light is broken and the scanner struggles to read wide barcodes. If you flash the beam light on a white surface, you can see if the light has got visible cracks. If this is the case, the scanner needs to be sent for repair, this can be done using our online Return Materials Authorization. Otherwise, please contact our Technical Support team. 

The LP2824 printer needs to be calibrated, so every time you press the feed button, the printer will feed only one label at a time. The calibration process has been described in this instructional video.

The best way to set up Ethernet settings is by connecting the printer directly to a PC over Ethernet and use EtherConfig tool or TCPIPCFG (Both tools can be downloaded from our Useful Downloads Section) . For more details, please refer to the Ethernet Guide.

There could be more WiFi networks available in your area, this could cause some delays or issues with connecting the PDA to your Access Point when it is in range. Bluebird released Pidion Supplicant Tool that allows you to set up WiFi profiles where the PDA will automatically connect to only those Access Points you want it to. You can find the file in our Useful Downloads area.

Most likely the baud rate speed doesn't match the baud rate set in your Windows Printer driver. Perform a self test from the printer and check what the baud rate speed is, then set the same baud rate speed under the Printer Windows Driver/Ports/Configure Port.

Please visit our Training section Video Tutorial, a 'step-by-step guide to upgrading firmware in Pidion devices. To obtain a copy of the firmware file, please contact our Technical Support Team.
