InfraRed (IR) Object Sensor
An infrared (IR) device located below the LEDs and above the scanner output window (refer to the section, MS700i and MS720i Features page 14) initiates the scanning process. As long as power is applied to the unit, the IR sensor projects a signal that extends approximately seven (7) inches beyond the output window. When the scanner’s computer is on “standby," passing an object in front of this sensor device will “wake up” the scanner and activate the laser. The scanner will enter “standby” when it remains dormant for a time. When the green LED comes on, the scanner is powering up for full operation. After approximately three seconds, the scanner will be ready to operate.
The default IR timeout is ten minutes. However, this can be changed through ScanSet or by scanning a bar code in Section C of the ScanSelect Programming Guide. The available times are two minutes, thirty minutes or no timeouts.
