CodeGate, Out-of-Stand Presentation, In-Stand The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and the scanner’s light output automatically starts to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code. The scanner continuously attempts to scan the bar code until either it succeeds or the bar code is removed from the scanner’s field of view.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted. If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
