Worth Data 701 RF manual Using the Scan Stand

Appendix M

Using the Scan Stand

Stand mode allows the operator to use an LZ300 laser in “hands free” mode while attached to an RF Terminal. This is useful in shipping applications or any application where the operator requires both hands to perform their function.

Stand Mode is actually a fast cycling laser looking for a bar code (many transitions between black and white). The user scans the bar code on the Stand to activate it. A scan of the same bar code while in "Stand Mode" will deactivate it. The "Stand Mode" on the RF Terminal only supports the external LZ300 Scanner, not the internal scanner and not the LZ400 Scanner. When the scanner detects a suspect bar code, the beam spreads wider and stays on for 2 1/2 second or until a bar code is successfully read. If successfully read, the scanner turns off until the next prompt. If no read occurred, it resumes the cycling looking for a prospective bar code.

When in Stand Mode, if a key is pressed, we assume the user wants to key data instead of scan data, so the scanner is turned off; at this point the scanner can be used if triggered. Once the data entry is finished and transmitted and the next prompt is received from the host program requesting either 1) scanner only input, or 2) scanner/keyboard input; the "Stand Mode" operation is resumed.

The Stand itself is available in two models, one with a weighted base (if you need to move the stand from site to site) or a gooseneck-only model that must be permanently mounted to a surface.
