For optimal scanning performance, ensure the surface covered by the active scan area is free of designs (for example, stripes or patterns). Ideally, the area should be a light, solid color.
The scanner uses an object detection wakeup system that provides a high swipe speed and reduces power consumption. The system includes an infrared mode with two power modes: Idle mode, which utilizes infrared LEDs not visible to the human eye, and Full Illumination Mode. Presenting an object to the scanner activates full illumination and removing the object returns the scanner to Idle Mode.
The scanner also has a traditional LED detection wakeup system. The red Illumination has two power level modes behave the same way the the IR system does, but use traditional LEDs for both Idle and Full Illumination Mode.
When the object presented in the Field of View (FOV) includes a barcode, the scanner scans the barcode, and if the barcode is successfully decoded, the illumination LEDs return to Idle Mode when the object is removed.
