    MS860i Features Becoming familiar with the features of the MS860i will help when operating the scanner. The following illustration and list explain the pertinent parts. Figure 5 Touch Plate When a specified time has elapsed without any scanning, the unit will enter a “standby” mode.
  • Page 18 Le scanner passe en mode 'Stand-by' quand il n'est pas utilisé pendant une certaine période. Si le calculateur du scanner se trouve en mode 'Stand-by', le contacte de la plaque de palpeur "réveille" le scanner et active le laser. L'allumage de la diode verte indique que le scanner se met en service en attente d'utilisation.
  • Page 19 Piastra sensore Se lo scanner è rimasto disattivato per un determinato periodo esso passa in modalità 'stand-by'. Quando il calcolatore dello scanner si trova in modalità 'stand-by', occorre toccare la piastra sensore per "svegliare" lo scanner ed attivare il laser. L’accensione del diodo luminoso verde indica che lo scanner si accende per diventare completamente pronto.

  • Page 20: Visual Indicators

    Visual Indicators There is a red and green LED at the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scan and scanner. Steady Green When the laser is on, the green LED is also on. This occurs when the touch plate has been touched.
  • Page 21 Diode verte reste allumée; diode rouge clignotante Après lecture avec succès d'un code barres par le scanner, la diode rouge se met à clignoter, suivie d'un bip sonore unique. Si la diode rouge ne clignote pas ou quand aucun bip sonore n'est émis, cela signifie que le code barres n'a pas pu être lu avec succès.
