Using Accessories
You can enhance productivity of your workforce by using various accessories
to fulfill a wide variety of application demand.
Universal Holder
The stylish Universal Holder is designed for storing your scanner when not in
use. It serves to protect the scanner from lens-scratched or falling. Moreover,
its artistic-design enhances the entire value of the scanner.
Hand-free 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. But please note that the SmartStand is not
applicable for F400 series scanner.
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 feature is not available for
F400 and F500 series scanners.
In presentation mode, the barcode may not be detected by the scanner in an
environment with very dim ambient lighting. You can select higher sensitivity
level through the setting of Presentation Sensitivity to increase scanner’s
sensitivity.

Operation Modes
Both F series Linear Imager and L series Laser Imager are available in
FuzzyScan family. Both series support different operation mode which are
listed below for reference.
The F series supports nine operation modes, including trigger, presentation,
alternative, level, flash, force, toggle, diagnostic and low power modes. The L
series supports five operation modes, including trigger, presentation,
alternative, level and low power modes.
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 will turn on the light source
and start scanning operation automatically if it detects an image similar to a
bar code. In case the scanner can’t detect a bar code, it will turn off the light
source when the preset light source on time is up.
When alternative mode is selected, the scanner keeps the light source on till
the preset light source on time is up. After the scanner turns off the light
source, you 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 frequently, it is very convenient for multiple
scanning.
Trigger Mode
Presentation Mode
Alternative Mode
Level Mode
When level mode is selected, the scanner continues to turn on the light
source till a bar code is decoded or preset light source on time is up. When a
bar code is decoded successfully, the scanner turns off the light source
immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the
trigger switch to turn on the light source again. If there is no scanning
operation performed during the preset light source on time, the scanner will
turn off the light source after the preset light source on time is up.

Flash Mode
When flash mode is selected, the scanner flashes the light source without
having to press the trigger switch. If the scanner detects an image which is
similar to a bar code, it forces on the light source automatically and scans the
bar code.
Force Mode
When force mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on for
continued operation without having to press the trigger switch. This mode is
convenient for high speed bar code reading.
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.
Diagnostic Mode
When diagnostic mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced
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.
