Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the
LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the battery will not charge unless the power supply is
plugged into the base’s auxiliary power port.
Scan the following bar code to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.
Idle Illumination - Presentation Mode
Scan one of the bar codes below to set the LED illumination for the scanner when it is in an idle state in Presentation Mode.
Default = High.
Note: If you use one of the lower Idle Illumination settings, and there is not enough ambient light, the scanner may have
difficulty detecting when a bar code is presented to it. If the scanner has difficulty “waking up” to read bar codes, you
may need to set the Idle Illumination to a brighter setting.
Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presenta-
tion. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside
back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.
Presentation Centering
Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads
only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Center-
ing will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering (page 4-14).
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Center-
ing is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering
window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window,
Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.
