3 - 2 IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual
System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you
associate an imager to a base, as you move an imager out of range, bring an
imager back in range, or swap imagers between two cordless systems. The
following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Linking Process
Once an imager is placed into the base, the imager’s battery charge status is
checked, and software automatically detects the imager and links it to the base
depending on the selected link mode.
Imager Is Out of Range
The cordless imager is in communication with its base, even when it is not
transmitting bar code data. Whenever the imager can’t communicate with the
base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the imager is out of range and you
scan a bar code, the imager issues a triple beep indicating no communication
with the base. In addition, your imager and base can sound an alarm if
programmed to emit an alarm. Refer to
"Out-of-Range Alarm" on page 3-12.
Imager Is Moved Back Into Range
The imager re-links if the imager or the base have been reset or out of range. If
the imager re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the re-linking process
(uploading of the parameter table) is complete.
Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation
Mode On
The imager may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC symbols,
others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base when back
in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode, but you will
hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not
working. Once the radio connection is made, the imager produces a series of
beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.
