•When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest success- fully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Oper- ating Mode.

Operating Mode

Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the user/operator.

Normal Operation

This condition is indicated by the green light being on dim and steady. For scanner/scale models, the yellow light indicates that the scale senses a weight of zero on the platter. If you have a scanner without scale model, the yellow lamp will not be lit when the scanner is ready for scanning.

Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be programmed to operate in the standard manner described above.

NOTE

Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called time-out1), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to prolong the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scanner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.

Sleep Mode

After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This state is called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press anywhere on the weigh platter (scanner/scale models only), press the Volume Selection switch or wave your hand in front of the vertical window. The unit will recognize any of these signals as a wake-up call and instantly return to Normal Operation.

1.“Timeout” and “Sleep Mode” time delays are programmable features that can be selected through use of the programming labels included in Section 6, Programming.
