Scanning 2 - 5
Scanning
The digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it is placed in the gooseneck Intellistand. In this
mode, the digital scanner operates in continuous (constant-on) mode, where it automatically decodes a bar code
presented in its field of view.
When the digital scanner is not used for a user-definable period of time, it enters a low power mode in which the
LEDs are turned off or blinked illuminated at a low duty cycle until the digital scanner detects an image change (e.g.
motion).
Scanning in Hands-Free (Presentation) Mode
The optional stand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,”
the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free (presentation) mode. When the scanner is removed
from the stand, it automatically switches modes to operate in its normal hand-held triggered mode.
Assemble the Stand
