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.
Additional Functions
Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running
scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and cali-
brating the scale.
Programming
When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is con-
figured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the
bar code symbologies you designated. If you need to change this configu-
ration information for any reason, Chapter 6, Programming, contains
special bar code labels for changing the unit’s settings.
Diagnostic Mode
Refer to Chapter 2, Diagnostic Modes for details about running scanner
and scale diagnostics. Turn to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation, for a
description of error codes resulting from diagnostics.
Scanner and Scale Reset
The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/
scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary
to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset
command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has
been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.
Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit’s internal Selftest rou-
tine.
