Operating Mode; Normal Operation; Sleep Mode - Datalogic MAGELLAN 8200 Product Reference Manual

Operating Mode

Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be pro-
grammed to operate in the standard manner described above.
NOTE
3-6
• When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest success-
fully, it emits a power-up tone (when configured to do so) and
enters Operating Mode.
Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning and weighing)
and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the
user/operator.

Normal Operation

This condition is indicated by the green light being on dim and steady.
For scanner/scale models, the yellow light indicates 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.
Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown
sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called
1
timeout ), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to prolong
the life of the electrical and mechanical components. 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,
press the trigger of an attached handheld scanner, or wave your hand in
front of the vertical 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 Section 6, Programming.
