IR Sensor Activation This function is decoder/controller dependent.
The scanning process is initiated by an infra red (IR) device that is found
below the laser output window. The signal it projects extends approximately
eight (8) inches beyond the output window (Refer to Figure 3). The IR device
remains active as long as power is applied to the unit.
When the unit remains dormant for a time, the laser will turn off. In this stage,
the scanner’s computer is on “stand by”. To reactivate the unit, wave an object
in front of the IR sensor or pick up the scanner and direct the output window
downwards. The function of the scanning process in conjunction with the IR
sensor is known as ScanQuest.
