Power Save Modes
The MS2420/MS2430 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 and 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 29 on page 35).
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 29 on
page 35). 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 and 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 29 on
page 35).
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 29 on
page 35).
