Power Save Modes
The MS2420 has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for
additional information on Power Save Modes.
1. Blink Power Save Mode:
Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use.
When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode.
2. Laser Off Power Save Mode:
Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use. The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster
"wake" up time.
Any movement detected by the IR will "wake" the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode
(see Figure 26 on page 31).
3. Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:
Turns the laser and motor OFF after a configured period of non-use.
Any movement detected by the IR will "wake" the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 26 on
page 31). This mode's "wake" time is slightly longer due to the motor's need to restart.
4. Dual Action Power Save Mode #1:
Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use; turns the laser and motor OFF at
thirty-minute intervals.
Example:
If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.
Any movement detected by the IR will "wake" the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 26 on
page 31).
5. Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (Default):
Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute
intervals.
Example:
If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.
Any movement detected by the IR will "wake" the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 26 on
page 31).
