SCANNER OPERATION

POWER SAVE MODES

The 7820 bar code scanner has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for additional information on Power Save Modes.

1.Blink Power Save Mode:

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

2.Laser Off Power Save Mode (Default):

Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use.

The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time. Pressing any of the three buttons will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode (see figure 17).

3.Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:

Turns the laser and motor OFF after a configured period of non-use. Pressing any of the three buttons will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see figure 38). This mode’s “wake up” 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 configured period of non-use turns the laser and motor OFF at thirty-minute intervals.
