Omron Microscan V430 slow or no connection, a work-around

 I was stumped on why the web page would not come up.  

It goes without saying, check the IP address and subnet mask.

The default IP of the Omron Microscan V430 is   192.168.188.2  subnet mask 255.255.0.0

I could ping it.  I could Telnet into it.  But the webpage wouldn't connect.

Answer: Cover the lens. 

WHAT?  How does covering the lens fix a connection problem?

The camera was in continuous acquisition.  It was spending all of its CPU time on finding and decoding a barcode.  There was no time left to allow connection requests.

Covering up the lens blanks the image.  The barcode search fails immediately, allowing the CPU to perform other tasks.
