Scanning in Hands-Free Mode
The optional IntelliStand adds greater flexibility to the scanning operation. When the
scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in
hands-free mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand it operates in its normal
hand-held mode.

Figure 2-4. Inserting the Scanner in the IntelliStand

To operate the scanner in the IntelliStand:
1. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host
chapter for information on host connections).
2. Insert the scanner into the IntelliStand by placing the front of the scanner into the
stand’s “cup” (see Figure 2-4).
3. To scan a bar code, present the bar code and ensure the scan line crosses every bar
and space of the symbol.
4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. For more
information on beeper and LED definitions, see Tabl e 2- 1 and Tab le 2-2 .
