Power Save Modes and IR Detection

The 7600 has five programmable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Programming Guide for additional information on Power Save Modes.

1.Blink Power Save Mode:

Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a programmed period of non-use. When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode.

2.Laser Off Power Save Mode:

Turns the laser OFF after a programmed period of non-use. The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode (see Figure 28).

3.Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:

Turns the laser and motor OFF after a programmed period of non-use.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 28). This mode’s “wake” time is slightly longer due to the motor’s need to restart.

4.Dual Action Power Save Mode #1:

“Blinks” the laser OFF & ON after a programmed period of non-use turns the laser and motor OFF at thirty-minute intervals.

Example:

If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.
