Programming Guide 85
Low Power Mode
QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus
incorporates two optional low power modes to
optimize power usage and extend scanner life.
NOTE
These features are only available with RS-232, Wand Emulation
and Keyboard Wedge host interfaces.
WARNING
DO NOT use Very Low Power Mode in conjunction with Stand
Mode, as this feature is not compatible and may cause unexpected
behavior.
Low Power Idle — places the scanner's microcontroller into a WAIT
state during idle periods. Any interrupt will bring the scanner
to life, including internal timer and watchdog events.
Very Low Power Mode (RS-232 and Wand Emulation interfaces
ONLY1) — places the scanner in a STOP state during idle
periods. The scanner can only be brought out of its STOP state
by a trigger pull or hardware reset.

1 Very Low Power Mode can be used with RS-232 and Wand Emulation Interfaces ONLY . If
Very Low Power Mode is selected with other interfaces will cause the scanner to default to
Low Power Idle instead.
