7.3 Marker Beam
The red marker beam (semiconductor laser) comes on to indicate the scanning area as a guide.
The marker provides a choice of the three modes--normal marker mode, marker-OFF mode and marker-ON mode that
can be selected by using the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
(1) Normal marker mode
When the trigger switch is in Auto-off mode or auto-off of the Auto stand mode:
When the scanner is ready to scan (that is, within approx. 5 seconds from the depression of the trigger switch or until
completion of reading from that), the marker beam remains on. If you release the trigger switch when the scanner is
ready, the marker beam will go off.
When the trigger switch is in Momentary switching mode or Alternate switching mode:
In the momentary switching mode, holding down the trigger switch turns on the marker beam.
When the scanner is ready to scan (that is, while the trigger switch is held down in the momentary switching mode or
when the scanner is ready to scan in the alternate switching mode), the marker beam remains on. When the scanner is
on standby (that is, the trigger switch is released in the momentary switching mode or when the scanner is on standby
in the alternate switching mode), the marker beam will go off.
When the trigger switch is in Momentary switching mode (Reverse Type):
In the momentary switching mode (Reverse Type), the marker beam remains on while the trigger switch is in the
released position.
When the scanner is ready to scan (that is, the trigger switch is released in the momentary switching mode reverse
type), the marker beam remains on. When the scanner is on standby (that is, while the trigger switch is held down in
the momentary switching mode reverse type), the marker beam will go off.
When the trigger switch is in Continuous reading mode 1 or 2:
Turning the scanner on activates the marker and keeps it on.
If the scanner receives the Z, READOFF or LOFF command, it turns off the marker beam; if it receives the R,
READON or LON command, it keeps the marker beam on.
When the trigger switch is in Auto sensing mode or auto sense state of the Auto stand mode:
When the scanner senses a code coming into the readable area and becomes ready to scan, it automatically turns on the
marker beam. After approx. 3 seconds from completion of scanning or if scanning is not completed within approx. 3
seconds, the scanner switches to standby and turns off the marker beam.
(2) Marker-OFF mode
The marker beam will not come on under any conditions.
(3) Marker-ON mode
When the scanner switches to standby, the marker beam is turned on for approx. 30 seconds.
When it is ready to scan, the marker beam remains on.
7.4 Illumination LEDs
When the scanner is ready to scan, the illumination LEDs are turned on.
The illumination LEDs provide the two choices--ON, OFF by using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
Enable or disable of “Power save mode” can be selected. The default setting is “Enable”.
When “Power save mode” is enabled, 20% power consumption is saved by less brightness of the illumination LEDs.
(Note) When “Power save mode” is enabled, a reading distance may be shorter under 500 lx ambient illumination.
