Imager Motion And Proximity Configuration - Motorola RS507-IM2xxxxSTWR Product Reference Manual

Imager Motion and Proximity Configuration

The Imager proximity and motion feature enables auto-triggering of the Imager upon motion and/or proximity to an
object.
Motion and proximity detection can be enabled or disabled by the mobile computer application such as the Remote
Scanner Management (RSMSample) application of the mobile computer (see
page 4-3) or by scanning configuration bar codes (see
NOTE Once configured, the motion and/or proximity attributes are retained in the Imager memory following warm
or cold boot.
Operation Modes
The Imager can be configured to a single or continuous scan operation. In most use cases, a single scan mode is
the preferred operation. However, when scanning packages off a moving conveyer belt, it is sometimes
recommended to use the continuous scan mode (also referred to as 'Proximity Continuous' mode). Continuous
operation automatically results from the combined settings of motion and proximity (enabling or disabling motion
and/or proximity. See Table

Scan)
The Imager performs a single scan when moved and positioned
in proximity to an object.
Scanning resumes when the Imager is moved and re-positioned
in proximity to an object.
This mode is a default mode.
The Imager starts to continuously scan when positioned in
proximity to an object. The Imager stops scanning when the
object is out of proximity range.
Upon movement, the Imager performs a single scan and stops.
The Imager performs a continuous scan when moved and
positioned in proximity to an object.
The Imager continues to scan as long as it detects an object
within its range and bar codes are scanned successfully.
The Imager stops scanning if proximity to an object is not
detected, or if the Imager fails to scan three consecutive times.
The description of this operation mode is identical to the
description of mode number 2 in this table.
