Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the battery will not charge unless the power supply is plugged into the base’s auxiliary power port.

Scan the following bar code to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.

Presentation ModeIdle Illumination - Presentation Mode

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the LED illumination for the scanner when it is in an idle state in Presentation Mode. Default = High.

Note: If you use one of the lower Idle Illumination settings, and there is not enough ambient light, the scanner may have difficulty detecting when a bar code is presented to it. If the scanner has difficulty “waking up” to read bar codes, you

may need to set the Idle Illumination to a brighter setting.

Presentation Sensitivity

Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presenta- tion. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.

SensitivityPresentation Centering

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering (page 4-14).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.
