Scanning - Motorola MP6000 Integrator Manual

OPERATING THE SCANNER 5 - 15

Scanning

The MP6000 uses its horizontal and vertical scan windows simultaneously to provide a high swipe speed using
six sided scanning.
The MP6000 includes an automatic Infra-Red (IR) wakeup system that reduces power consumption. When
any object is presented in the field of view of the scan windows, the red illumination turns on, but automatically
turns off when the object is removed. When the object presented in the field of view includes a bar code, the
MP6000 scans the bar code, and, if the bar code is successfully decoded, the illumination LEDs immediately
turn off when the object is removed.
Position the bar code anywhere within the MP6000's field of view.

The scanner beeps to indicate a successful decode, and the green light of the LED array bar on top of the
vertical window momentarily fans out horizontally (see Table 5-1 on page 5-20).
