SCANNER OPERATION

POWER SAVE MODES

The MS2421/MS2422 bar code scanners have 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:

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

Any movement detected by the photocell will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode (see Figure 29 on page 27).

3.Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:

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

Any movement detected by the photocell will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 29 on page 27). 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 configured 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.

Any movement detected by the photocell will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 29 on page 27).

5.Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (Default):

Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals.

Example:

If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.

Any movement detected by the photocell will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 29 on page 27).
