Using SmartStand
SmartStand is specifically designed for hand-free applications to maximize user’s comfort and productivity. You can adjust the scanner holder to desired position for optimized scanning.
Thanks to the Auto-sense design, the scanner is capable of switching between presentation scanning and hand-held scanning automatically while working with SmartStand. But please note that this function is not available for F560 series scanners.
In presentation mode, the bar code may not be detected by the scanner in an environment with very dim ambient lighting. You can select higher sensitivity level through the setting of Presentation Sensitivity to increase scanner’s detection sensitivity.
Level 1 Level 6
Level 2 Level 7
For A series area imager, you can enable or disable the presentation background lighting of scanner according to the ambient light condition in presentation mode. When the ambient light is dim or dark, you can enable this function to turn on the scanner’s LED illumination at a dim level. This is helpful for scanner to detect the motion of scene.

Operation Modes
area imager
FuzzyScan family A series array imager supports various operation modes, including trigger, presentation, alternative, level, force, toggle, diagnostic, low power and multiple read modes. The details of each operation mode are listed below for reference.
Trigger Mode
When trigger mode is selected, the scanner goes into standby state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source of the scanner before scanning the bar code.
Presentation Mode
When presentation mode is selected, the scanner is preset to turn on the background lighting to detect the bar codes. Once the scanner detects an image similar to a bar code, it will try to decode the bar code immediately.
Alternative Mode
When alternative mode is selected, the scanner keeps the light source on till the preset “light source on time” is up. After turning off the light source, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source again. After each good read, the timer counter of light source on time is reset. You do not have to press the trigger switch frequently. It is very useful for multiple scanning.
Level Mode
When level mode is selected, the scanner continues to turn on the light source till a bar code is decoded or preset “light source on time” is up.
When a bar code is decoded successfully, the scanner turns off the light source immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you have to press the trigger switch to turn on the light source again. If there is no scanning operation performed during the preset “light source on time”, the scanner will turn off the light source after the preset light source on time is up.
4
Force Mode
When force mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on for continued operation without having to press the trigger switch. This mode is convenient for high speed bar code reading.
Toggle Mode
When toggle mode is selected, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source of the scanner to start scanning operation. The scanner keeps the light source on until you press the trigger switch again. This mode is very similar to alternative mode but without the preset light source on time concern.
Diagnostic Mode
When diagnostic mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay, redundancy, and so on.
Low Power Mode
When low power mode is selected, the scanner goes into idle state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to wake up the scanner for operation.
Multiple Read Mode
When multiple read mode is selected, the scanner is allowed to decode multiple bar codes with a single pull of the trigger. When you press and hold the trigger to aim at a series of bar codes, the scanner will decode each bar code and beep for each good read. For more precise bar code decoding, you are recommended to enable Center Alignment function while multiple read mode is selected. You also can enable Unique Bar Code Reporting function to report only unique bar code when the scanner trigger is pressed. For the setting of Center Alignmen and Unique Bar Code Reporing, please refer to
Programming Manual for details.

Operation Modes
linear & laser imager
Both F series linear imager and L series laser imager of FuzzyScan family support various operation modes, including trigger, presentation, alternative, level, flash, force, toggle, diagnostic and low power modes. But please note that the laser aiming line of L series is not performed under force, flash, toggle or diagnostic mode to ensure the longer working life of laser imager.
Trigger Mode
When trigger mode is selected, the scanner goes into standby state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source of the scanner before scanning the bar code.
Presentation Mode
When presentation mode is selected, the scanner will turn on the light source and start scanning operation automatically if it detects an image similar to a bar code. In case the scanner can’t detect a bar code, it will turn off the light source when the preset light source on time is up.
Alternative Mode
When alternative mode is selected, the scanner keeps the light source on till the preset “light source on time” is up. After turning off the light source, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source again. After each good read, the timer counter of light source on time is reset. You do not have to press the trigger switch frequently. It is very useful for multiple scanning.
Level Mode
When level mode is selected, the scanner continues to turn on the light source till a bar code is decoded or preset “light source on time” is up.
When a bar code is decoded successfully, the scanner turns off the light source immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source again. If there is no scanning operation performed during the preset “light source on time”, the scanner will turn off the light source after the preset light source on time is up.
6
Flash Mode
When flash mode is selected, the scanner flashes the light source without having to press the trigger switch. If the scanner detects an image which is similar to a bar code, it forces on the light source automatically and scans the bar code.
Force Mode
When force mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on for continued operation without having to press the trigger switch. This mode is convenient for high speed bar code reading.
Toggle Mode
When toggle mode is selected, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source of the scanner to start scanning operation. The scanner keeps the light source on until you press the trigger switch again. This mode is very similar to alternative mode but without the preset light source on time concern.
Diagnostic Mode
When diagnostic mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay, redundancy, and so on.
Low Power Mode
When low power mode is selected, the scanner goes into idle state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to wake up the scanner for operation.
