Entering and Resuming from Power Saving Mode
The scanner enters power saving mode when it is left on without being used for a certain period
of time.
Power saving mode keeps the power consumption low when the scanner has not been used for a
certain period of time.
Power saving mode has two types of settings.
● Power Save
If the scanner is left powered on for 15 minutes (factory default setting) or longer without being
used, it automatically enters power saving mode.
When the scanner enters power saving mode, the touch screen switches off.

time (4 hours for the factory default setting).
