Using SmartStand
SmartStand is specifically designed for hand-free applications to maximize
user’s comfort and productivity. You can adjust the scanner holder to desired
position for optimized scanning.
Thanks to the Auto-sense design, the scanner is capable of switching
between presentation scanning and hand-held scanning automatically while
working with SmartStand. But please note that this function is not available
for F560series scanners.
In presentation mode, the bar code m ay not be detected by the scanner in an
environment with very dim ambient lighting. You can select higher sensitivity

Operation Modes area imager
FuzzyScan family A series array imager supports various operation modes,
including trigger, presentation, alternative, level, force, toggle, diagnostic, low
power and multiple read modes. The details of each operation mode are
listed below for reference.
When trigger mode is selected, the scanner goes into standby state after
scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to turn on the light
source of the scanner before scanning the bar code.
When presentation mode is selected, the scanner is preset to turn on the
background lighting to detect the bar codes. Once the scanner detects an
image similar to a bar code, it will try to decode the bar code immediately.
When alternative mode is selected, the scanner keeps the light source on till
the preset “
light source on time
must press the trigger switch 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 switch frequently. It is very useful for multiple scanning.

Toggle Mode
When toggle mode is selected, you must press the trigger switch to turn on
the light source of the scanner to start scanning operation. The scanner
keeps the light source on until you press the trigger switch again. This mode
is very similar to alternative mode but without the preset light source on time
concern.

on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay,
redundancy, and so on.
Low Power Mode
When low power mode is selected, the scanner goes into idle state after
scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to wake up the
scanner for operation.
Multiple Read Mode
When multiple read mode is selected, the scanner is allowed to decode
multiple bar codes with a single pull of the trigger. When you press and hold
the trigger to aim at a series of bar codes, the scanner will decode each bar
code and beep for each good read. For more precise bar code decoding, you
