mode
Description
Manual
Trigger
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the
trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode
offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced
mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than
Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast speed and
don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Triger-Normal.
Presentation
Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scan engine illumination to detect bar
codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code is
presented to the scan engine, then the aimer turns on and the LEDs turn up to read
the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not
work properly.
Streaming
Presentation
Mode
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan engine’s aimer goes out after a short
time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search for bar
codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good
scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give
you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode.
Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t
require a long working range.
Host Notify
Host Notify Mode bypasses the decoder and notifies the host that there has been a

Snap and Ship mode, allows you to bypass the decoder and ship an image directly to
the host. In this mode, an image is taken and shipped upon each trigger pull, instead
of being sent to the decoder. Snap and Ship is useful when you are using your own
decoder.

5.1 Screen Resolution Scaling and Setting
The M101’s 1920 x 1200 high resolution display is perfect for viewing image, video, or other applications,
however, Windows user interface (icons, buttons, and other user interface elements) may be too small to
read and operate at the default Windows settings. By changing the display scaling or the display resolution
setting of the device, you can adjust the size of the text and other items on the desktop for optimal viewing.
Display scaling is the recommended method because it has the effect of adjusting user interface element
without having to move away from the optimal resolution setting at 1920 x 1200. This section will explain
how you can adjust the built-in windows display scaling setting and resolution setting.
5.1.1 Changing Display Scaling (Recommended)
Perform the following to change display scaling setting:
1. Tap and hold anywhere on the desktop for 3 seconds and release to bring up the context menu, and
select “Display settings” option as shown below:

1. A “Display” Window will show up. Click on the dropdown option under the “Scale and layout”
section and change the scaling option to “150% (Recommended)” or any other desired display
scaling.
5.1.2 Changing Screen Resolution
Alternatively, instead of changing the display scaling setting, user may choose to change the overall
resolution setting to make screen elements bigger.
1. Tap and hold anywhere on the desktop for 3 seconds and release to bring up the context menu, and
select “Display settings” option as shown below:
Page 53

5.2 Replacing Battery
Caution: Charge the built-in back-up battery every two months to keep battery health
and prevent possible issues from battery over-discharge.
The M101S Tablet supports hot-swap, meaning the tablet doesn’t need to be powered off to replace the
main battery. To support hotswap, there is a backup battery inside the tablet that is charged together with
the main battery. This battery cannot be removed, and requires adequate power for main battery hot
swapping. When the backup battery is fully charged, the tablet can sustain up to 5 minutes of runtime for
battery hot-swapping.
Perform the following to hot swap the batteries:
1. Power on the tablet, open Hottab to check the power level of the Backup battery.
2. If the Backup battery level is “Low”, please charge the tablet with AC Power until the Backup battery
level is “Medium” or “High”, and do not remove the main battery.
3. If the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, you can remove the main battery.
4. Insert a new fully charged battery into the battery compartment.
5. Pen Hottab to check Main battery level. If the battery level is displayed incorrect, check if the new
removable battery is inserted properly.
6. If the battery level displayed correct, continue using the tablet.
