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 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.
Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running
scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and cali-
brating the scale.
When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is con-
figured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the
barcode symbologies you designated. If you need to change this configura-
tion information for any reason,
barcode labels for changing the unit's settings.

tion of error codes resulting from diagnostics.
The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/
scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary
to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset
command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has
been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.
Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit's internal Selftest rou-
tine.
