Parts of the Scanner

Scanning Modes

The scanner can operate in two modes:

• Trigger Single Mode - trigger button must be pressed to

emit the laser in order to a scan barcode.

• Stand Mode - scanner laser is in constant on state and no

trigger button press is required to scan a barcode.

To toggle between modes, scan the “Toggle Scan Mode” barcode

below.

Depending upon which mode the scanner currently is in, scan the

“Toggle Scan Mode” to switch from Trigger Single to Stand, or

from Stand to Trigger Single Mode.

While in the Stand mode of operation, if the scanner has not been

used for several minutes it will shift to low power operation, sig-

nalled by a narrowing of the scanning beam. When in low power

mode, the scanner will respond to a barcode and come back to nor-

mal Stand Mode operation upon seeing/reading the label.

If the scanner has been idle for an extended configurable period1,

it will timeout, then enter sleep mode with the scanning beam

turned off. To wake the scanner from sleep mode, press the trigger

button.

Stand Mode Timeout Period

The Timeout Period for the transition from low power to sleep

mode can be set to one of the following durations:

•1Hour

•5Hours(default)

• Infinite Timeout — With this setting, there is no timeout,

thus the scanner will never go into sleep mode or beam

shut-off but will remain in low power mode until a label is

read.

Stand Mode Timeout Period = 1 Hour

Stand Mode Timeout Period = 5 Hours (Default)

Stand Mode Timeout Period = Infinite Timeout
