Changing Scanner Settings
1.2 POWER MANAGEMENT (1560/1562/1564/1660/1661/1664)
The Bluetooth-enabled models such as 1560, 1562, 1564, 1660, 1661, and 1664 feature
the management of power consumption. Such management enables the scanner to
control its power state in response to the input from the user. By the scanner’s power
management, the power consumption goes through the following transition:
1) The scanner stays active with full CPU speed right after power-on.
2) The scanner shifts to low CPU speed. (“Power-Saving”. See
1.2.2 Power-Saving)
3) The scanner finally shuts down. (“Auto Power Off”. See
1.2.3 Auto Power Off & 1.2.4
Auto Power off Ignoring Scan Mode (1560/1564)
.
Note there are a few eccentric cases:
The “Power-Saving” is inoperative for the Bluetooth HID or SPP on all concerned
models except for 1664. The 1664 is able to deliver Power-Saving for Bluetooth HID
and SPP.
For the 1661 and 1664 set to Direct USB for output, the “Power-Saving” and “Auto
Power Off” only comes to service when the USB cable gets loosened or connects
improperly.
1.2.1 BEFORE/AFTER BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
Before and after the Bluetooth connection is made, the scanner features similar power
managing mechanism. The following details how it is achieved.
Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully…
1. The scanner stays active for a time (2 minutes by default) attempting either of the following.
The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s).
(a) waiting for a connection request from the host (Bluetooth SPP Slave Mode)
(b) trying to connect to the host (Bluetooth HID or Bluetooth SPP Master Mode)
(c) trying to connect to 3656 or 3610
Note in the cases of (a) and (b), you may need to search for the scanner again on your
computer.
2. If the scanner fails to connect throughout the active time (2 minutes by default), the CPU
slows down and the scanner becomes inactive to save power. The LED starts to blink red
(On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).
Pull the scan trigger or press the scan button to resume the scanner.
3. Failing to make connection, the scanner shifts to inactive state when it is the time (the
Power-Saving time). Then scanner keeps inactive and finally turns off to conserve battery
power when it is the time (the Auto Power Off time).
Pull & hold the scan trigger or press & hold the [Power/Delete] button to turn the scanner
back on.
