Operating Mode

NOTE
56
Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning, EAS deacti-
vation and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most
commonly observed by the user/operator.

Normal Operation

This condition is indicated by the scanner green LED being on dim
and steady. For scanner/scale models, the scale yellow LED indi-
cates that the scale senses a weight of zero on the platter. If you
have a scanner without scale model, the yellow lamp will not be lit
when the scanner is ready for scanning.
Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may
not be programmed to operate in the standard manner described
above.
Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown
sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also
1
called time-out ), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in
order to prolong the life of the electrical and mechanical compo-
nents. Once the scanner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.
Sleep Mode
After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the
laser and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This
state is called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a "slow" blink of the
green light (blinking at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press
anywhere on the weigh platter (scanner/scale models only), press
the Volume Selection switch or wave your hand over the horizontal
window. The unit will recognize any of these signals as a wake-up
call and instantly return to Normal Operation.
1. "Timeout" and "Sleep Mode" time delays are programmable features
that can be selected through use of the programming labels included
in Chapter 6, Programming .
