The MS7220 has five programmable power save modes. Refer to the
MetroSelect Programming Guide for additional information on Power Save
Modes.

1. Blink Power Save Mode (Default):

“Blinks” the laser OFF & ON after a programmed 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 programmed period of non-use.

The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time. Pressing
the Multi-Function button will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power
save mode (see figure 8d).

3. Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:

Turns the laser and motor OFF after a programmed period of non-use.

Pressing the Multi-Function button will “wake” the scanner from the power
save mode (see figure 8d). This mode is the only power save mode that can
be activated by the Multi-Function Button (see figure 8c). This mode’s
“wake up” 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 programmed 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.

Pressing the Multi-Function button will “wake” the scanner from the power
save mode (see figure 8d).

5. Dual Action Power Save Mode #2:

Turns the laser OFF after a programmed period of non-use then turns the
motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals.

Example:
If the power save timeout
is set to 15 minutes.

Pressing the Multi-Function button will “wake” the scanner from the power save
mode (see figure 8d).
