5.4.5Time Stamping Format

The Time Stamping parameter sets the format for hour and date information. It consists of 1 or 2 groups of numbers, each one made up of 6 decimal digits.

For example, setting the Hour/Minutes/Seconds/Month/Day/Year format, the information 17:03:16 on June 12, 2002 will be formatted as 170316061202.

5.4.6Time Stamping Delimiter

The Time Stamping Delimiter allows a character to be included to separate the Time Stamping field from the next field in the message. Any character can be included in the hexadecimal range from 00 to FE.

5.5POWER SAVE5.5.1Sleep State

When using interfaces other than USB, this mode allows the μP in the reader to enter a “Sleep” state for minimum power consumption. For D-series readers, this command is only valid when hardware trigger type is selected.

Before entering Sleep mode, the following are verified:

•no commands coming from Host

•no data being transmitted to Host

•Enter Sleep Timeout ended (see par. 5.5.2)

To exit Sleep mode press the trigger.

For M8300 series readers, sleep state is entered immediately after reading a code and is not configurable. To exit Sleep mode press the trigger.

When using the USB interface, this mode allows the device to manage Selective Suspend conditions generated by the Host Operating System in which optimizing low power consumption (ex. Windows Stand-by). It is possible to exit the Suspend mode either from the Host (ex. moving the mouse during Stand-by) or through the barcode reader. The latter, called Remote Wakeup, makes the device wake up the Host restoring the communication. Remote Wakeup is possible by pressing the trigger.
