Q. Q Does the Xenon 1902g-bf scanner
support presentation mode?
Q. A Yes, it supports the same 2 standard presentation
modes that other Xenon scanners support, plus
a presentation mode specifically developed
for the Xenon 1902g-bf scanner.
• Presentation mode and streaming presentation
mode will work when the scanner is in the cradle.
However, when the scanner is taken out of the
cradle, it will continue in the selected presentation
mode and will quickly drain the super-caps if the
scanner is not placed back into the base.
• Temporary presentation mode (new): When the scanner
is in the base, you can turn on temporary presentation
mode by simply pressing the base's paging button.
The scanner will now go into presentation mode
for a defined period of time (the default setting
is 10 seconds). If a barcode is scanned before the
timeout is reached, the timer starts over. When the
timeout is reached, or if you lift the scanner from
the base or press the page button on the base, the
scanner will go back into manual triggering mode.
Q. Q Can you set the temporary presentation mode
to always on (0 seconds in configuration)?
Q. A Yes, but when you take the scanner out of the
base, it will still go into manual trigger mode. You
will have to press the base's page button to place
the scanner back into presentation mode.
Q. Q Why did the scanner go out of
temporary presentation mode
while I still had it in the base?
Q. A Unless you set the timeout to "0 seconds," temporary
presentation mode will turn off when the timeout is
reached. Note the timeout is reset after every scan.

FAQs
Q. Q Why does the temporary presentation
mode go into manual trigger mode
when it is taken out of the base?
Q. A For two reasons. First, by placing the scanner in
manual trigger mode when taken out of the base,
you prevent the accidental scanning of other items
as the scanner is moved into position to scan the
desired barcode. Second, to reduce the amount of
power consumed by the scanner while it is being used
out of the base so that it can scan more items.
Q. Q Will there be a presentation mode that
will have the scanner automatically go
back into presentation mode when it
is placed back in the base?
Q. A Yes, the feature is currently under development and
will be included in the next battery firmware update.
BLUETOOTH
Q. Q What is BTLE?
Q. A Bluetooth low energy (LE) is the power version of
Bluetooth that was built for the Internet of Things (IoT).
The power-efficiency of Bluetooth with low-energy
functionality makes it perfect for devices that run
for long periods on power sources, such as coin cell
batteries or energy-harvesting devices. Native support
for Bluetooth technology on every major operating
system enables development for a broad range of
connected devices, from home appliances and security
systems to fitness monitors and proximity sensors.
Q. Q Why am I not getting the same range as
the battery-powered Xenon scanner?
Q. A In order to maximize the number of scans from a single
charge, the decision was made to limit the output power to
support the minimum Class 2 specification of 10 m (33 ft).
Q. Q Will I get more than 10 m (33 ft) range?
Q. A The specification guarantees 10 m (33 ft) line of
sight, meaning there are no obstructions like walls,
shelving or people between the scanner and the base.
Obstructions may reduce the range of the scanner.
