Hands-Free Scanning
The scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it sits in the CR6080-PC cradle. During idle
conditions the scanner operates in object detection mode, where it automatically wakes up to decode a
barcode presented in the field of view. In object detection mode it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be
dimly lit.
To scan:
1. Ensure all connections are secure (see appropriate host chapter).
2. Present the barcode in the scanner field of view.
note The standard digital scanner emits a red illumination with a red aim dot (pictured in
<em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Figure 7-1 and <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Figure 7-2). The Healthcare
configuration emits a white illumination with a green aim dot.
