Data Capture 2 - 7
Hands-Free Scanning
The digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it sits in the CR2278-PC cradle. During idle
conditions the digital scanner operates in object detection mode, where it automatically wakes up to decode a bar
code presented in the field of view. In object detection mode it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be dimly lit.
To scan:
1. Ensure all connections are secure (see appropriate host chapter).
2. Present the bar code in the digital scanner field of view.
3. Upon successful decode, the digital scanner beeps and the LED flashes green. (For more information about
beeper and LED definitions, Beeper and LED Indications on page 2-1).
