Page 19: Chapter 1 Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time. In addition to single-line laser scanning, the scanner supports multi-line rastering.
Page 20: Unpacking
Configuration via 123Scan. Unpacking Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. See page xv for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be return for servicing.
Page 21: Setting Up The Scanner
Getting Started 1 - 3 Setting Up the Scanner Installing the Interface Cable To connect the interface cable: Insert the interface cable’s modular connector clip into the cable interface port on the bottom of the scanner handle. (See Figure 1-2.). Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is properly secured.

Page 33: Scanning In Hands-Free Mode
Scanning 2 - 9 Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to 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 automatically switches modes to operate in its normal hand-held triggered mode.
