1.1.2 POWER ECONOMY

Saving after

The scanner features “Power-Saving”, “Auto Power Off” and “A uto Power Off Ig noring Scan Mode” giving consideration to the power issue that is generally critical for Bluetooth-enabled devices. By the scanner’s support of power economy, its power consumption may progress by the following transition:

1) running at full CPU speed at power-on

2) shifting to low CPU speed (Power-Saving)

3) finally shutting down automatically (Auto Power Off)

In the following conten t of this section, you wil l be guided through the co nfigurations for the scanner’s power economy.

1.1.2.1 POWER-SAVING

For the scanner to save power, you need to appoint the timing for the scanner to shift to power-saving mode. Make the configuration that best suits your application while noting the following points:

 Power-Saving: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable.

By default, the scanner stands by at full-speed for 2 minutes after power-on and before entering low-speed mode. If Power-Saving isn’t desired, set it to 0 to disable it. Read the setup barcode in the following to achieve the setup.

Note: Power-Saving setting

won’t take eff ect when the WPAN connection is established

successfully whether via BT HID or SPP.

1) Read the barcode above to enable the scanner to enter low-speed “Power-Saving”.

2) Assign the time for the scanner to enter low-speed mode by reading the “Decimal Value

barcode on page 263. For example, read “5” for the scanner to enter low -speed mode after idleness of 5 minutes.

3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.

Note: Power-Saving won’t take effect when one of the following conditions is me t:

(1) the scanner has already established a BT HID/SPP connection, (2) the scanner is in the configuration mode, (3) the scan mode is set to Test Mode, (4) the setting value of Power-Saving is greater than that of Auto Power Off.

1.1.3 POWER ECONOMY VS. WPAN CONNECTION

Before the scanner can communicate with the host computer, Bluetooth connection (or WPAN connection) needs to be established. The scanner’s power economy always accommodates itself to the establishment of the WPAN connection.

The following describes how the scanner carries out power economy before and after the establishment of the WPAN connection:

Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully…

1. The scanner stays active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for the following

scenarios. The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). (a) waiting for a connection request from the host (BT SPP Slave Mode) (b) trying to connect to the host (BT HID or BT SPP Master Mode) (c) trying to connect to the cradle

2. If the scanner fails to connect within 2 minutes, it becomes

remaining period of time (the specified “Auto Power Off” value minus 2 minutes). The CPU starts to run at low speed, and the LED begins to blink red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).

Pull the trigger to wake u p the scan ner w hen i t becom es inacti ve, and the s c anner wi ll become active again.

3. If it fails to connect again and again, and finally stays inactive until the specified Auto Power Off

time elapses, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power. Pull down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on again.

Note: For scenarios (a) and (b) in step 1, you may need to search for the scanner again on your computer.

After establishing a WPAN connection successfully…

1. Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for a specified

period of time (2 minutes by default) for data transmission. The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s).

2. If the scanner stays idle for 2 minutes (default), it will then turn inactive to save power for the

er, when

Pull the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, then the scanner w ill stay active again.

 For BT HID or S PP, the scan ner automati call y shuts down af ter t he con fi gured “A uto Power

Off” time without the transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed. Howev connecting with the cradle, the scanner will go through the transition in order to save power.

3. If the scanner first becomes idle and finally stays inactive until the specified Auto Power Off time

is up, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power. You will hear three short beeps, tone descending from high to low.

Pull down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on again.

 For BT HID, the scanner resumes the connection with the host upon powering on again, as

long as the host application is running. You will hear three short beeps, tone ascending from low to high upon the resum ption. If the scanner fails to resume the connection, it will try every 5 seconds to re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the “Reset Connection” barcode.

 For BT SPP Slave Mode, the scanner waits for the host to re-connect.  For BT SPP Master Mode, the scanner resumes the connection with the host upon powering

on again as long as the host application i s running. You will hear three short beeps, to ne ascending from low to high upon resumption. If the scanner fails to resume the connection, it will try every 5 seconds to re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the “Reset Connection” or “Restore System Defaults” barcode.

 With the use of cradle, the scanner tries to re-connect the cradle unless you turn off the

scanner.

1.2 MEMORY

The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.

1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER

By default, transmit buffer is enabled and for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 10 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full.

When transmit buffer is enabled…

If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with two short beeps, high-low tone, upon reading a barcode successfully.

When transmit buffer is full, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range.

When transmit buffer is disabled…

If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range.

*Enable

Disable
