Hands-Free Scanning

Hands-Free Scanning

The scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it sits in the CR8178-PC cradle. During idle conditions, the scanner operates in object detection mode and automatically wakes up to decode a barcode presented in the field of view. In object detection mode, it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be dimly lit.
  1. Ensure all connections are secure (see appropriate host section).
  2. Present the barcode in the scanner field of view.
  3. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED flashes green.
