Scan Stand Mode

When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol that follows.) When a different code is presented, the imager is triggered to read the new code.

Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol. When a symbol is presented, the imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting (see LED Power Level on page 3-10).

Scan Stand Symbol

When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level (Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view.

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.
