DS4800 Series Presentation Stand
An optional intellistand is available for using the imager in presentation mode. Placing the imager in the stand
automatically enables presentation mode, and a motion detection system rapidly wakes the imager from
timeout.

CHAPTER 2 DATA CAPTURE
Introduction
This chapter provides speaker and LED definitions, general scanning instructions and tips, and decode range
information.
User Feedback Definitions
The imager uses a 2-color indicator LED, a white trigger LED, various b eep sequences, and a vib rator motor to
indicate status. Table 2-1 defines the default beep sequences, LED displays, and vibration patterns that occur
during both normal scanning and while programming the imager.

Scanning
The DS4800 can be used in either hand-held triggered mode, hand-held presentation mode, or hands-free
mode via an intellistand. To select the mode, see Hand-Held Triggered Mode on page 4-17.
Hand-Held Triggered Scanning
When held, the DS4800 operates in standard triggered mode. Initially, the trigger LED pulses in idle state.
To decode a bar co de :
1. Aim the imager at a bar code and touch the trigger to decode. Upon trigger touch:
•
The trigger LED turns off.
•
The imager vibrates for 100 ms (by default).
•
If enabled, a brief audio click sounds.
•
The imager projects illumination and a red LED aiming dot to facilitate positioning the bar code within its
field of view (see Table 12-2 on page 12-5 for the proper distance to achieve between the imager and a
bar code).
Figure 2-1
2. To scan the symbol, center the aiming dot on the symbol, in any orientation.
Figure 2-2
When a bar code is decoded:
3. Release the trigger. The trigger LED remains on while in an active state (10 seconds after the last trigger
press), then returns to idle state and pulses.
Scanning in Hand-Held Mode
Scanning Orientation with Imager Aiming Dot
• A tone sounds (by default). To change the tone, see Scan Tone on page 4-10.
To disable the tone, see Beep After Good Decode on page 4-7.
• The green indicator LED turns on (by default). To disable this, see LED on Good Decode on page
4-12.
• If enabled, the imager provides haptic feedback. See Haptic Feedback (Vibrate) on Good Decode on
page 4-13.
