Presentation Mode

This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Presentation Mode

Note: The operation of advanced illumination units and non-advanced illumination units differs slightly. When an advanced illumination unit is in Presentation Mode and idle, the illumination LEDs go dim, but never go out. When a non-advanced illumination unit is in Presentation Mode and idle, the illumination LEDs go out completely.

Presentation LED Behavior after Decode

When an imager is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a bar code is decoded. If you wish to turn the LEDs off immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off bar code, below. Default = LEDs On.
