You can choose different level of Presentation Sensitivity to meet your application (Please refer to the setting of Presentation Sensitivity ). Alternative Mode (Periodic Power Off) The scanner keeps the light source of the scanner turned on till the pre-defined light source on time is up. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on the light source again. After each good read, the timer counter of Light Source on Time is reset. You do not have to press the trigger frequently, it is very convenient for multiple scanning. Flash Mode (Pulse Driven Reading) The scanner flashes the light source of the scanner without using the trigger. If the scanner detects an image which is similar to a bar code, the scanner forces on the light source automatically and scans the bar code. Flash Duty Cycle adjustment can change the frequency of the blinking. Force Mode (Continued Power On) The light source of the scanner is forced on for continued operation without pressing the trigger switch. This mode is convenient for high speed bar code reading. Toggle Mode (Repeat Reading) The toggle mode is very similar to the Alternative Mode but without the pre-defined light source on time concern. You must press the trigger to turn on the light source of the scanner to scan. The scanner keeps the light source turned on until you press the trigger again. Diagnostic Mode (Test Reading) This operation mode is specifically designed for diagnostic purposes. When this operation mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is force on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay, redundancy, and so forth. Level Mode (Auto Power Off) When this operation mode is selected, the scanner continues to turn on the light source of the scanner before a good read or pre-defined Light Source on Time. If the scanner decodes a bar code successfully, it turns off the light source immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on the light source again. If there is no scanning operation performed during the pre-defined light source on time, the scanner enters the idle state after the pre-defined light source on time is up. Presentation Control When the scanner is placed on SmartStand, the scanner will be switched from hand-held scanning to hands free scanning automatically. Three hands scanning modes are available. You are recommended to use flash mode or force mode while under insufficient ambient light. Only Lower power mode, Trigger mode, Presentation mode and Level mode are available for Laser model. 6

The Flash Duty Cycle is designed to control the flashing frequency of the light source. The Redundancy is the number of times the same bar code label has to be decoded before it is transmitted. The Reread Delay (Double Scan Verification) is designed to inhibit from reading the same bar code label twice in pre-defined short duration. Force Verification will not allow reading of the same bar code twice. This Good Read Delay is the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another bar code

The scanner keeps the light source on till the pre-defined light source on time is up. You can adjust this parameter to meet your own application requirement. The Presentation Mode, Force Mode and Flash Mode are referred to as hands free mode. The hands free mode will be automatically changed to manual trigger mode when you press the trigger. You can remain the scanner in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out duration is up (if there s no any trigger operation), the imager will revert to the original hands free mode. The Time Delay to Low Power Mode sets the time for scanner to enter low power mode after any scanning activity. This setting is only available for the scanner is in low power mode. 9 5

While the scanner is placed on SmartStand, the scanner s will be switched from hand-held scanning to presentation scanning and the light source will be forced on automatically. The light source will be off when the pre-defined duration is up. When enable the Presentation Auto-sense, the scanner can be switched between hands free scanning and hand-held scanning automatically when working with the SmartStand. The presentation sensitivity is used to configure the sensitivity level when the scanner is set as presentation mode. The higher lever means higher sensitivity for detecting the barcode.
