By the scanner’s support of power economy, its power consumption may progress by the following transition: 1) running at full CPU speed at power-on2) shifting to low CPU speed (Power-Saving)3) finally shutting down automatically (Auto Power Off)In the following content of this section, you will be guided through the configurations for the scanner’s power economy. 1.1.2.1 POWER-SAVING For the scanner to save power, you need to appoint the timing for the scanner to shift to power-saving mode. Make the configuration that best suits your application while noting the following points: Power-Saving: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable.By default, the scanner stands by at full-speed for 2 minutes after power-on andbefore entering low-speed mode. If Power-Saving isn’t desired, set it to 0 to disable it.Read the setup barcode in the following to achieve the setup.Note: Power-Saving setting won’t take effect when the WPAN connection is established successfully whether via BT HID or SPP. Power-Saving after 0~254 min. (*2) 1) Read the barcode above to enable the scanner to enter low-speed “Power-Saving”.2) Assign the time for the scanner to enter low-speed mode by reading the “DecimalValue” barcode on page 231. For example, read “5” for the scanner to enterlow-speed mode after idleness of 5 minutes.3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.
25 Update Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode ScannerNote: Power-Saving won’t take effect when one of the following conditions is met: (1) the scanner has already established a BT HID/SPP connection, (2) the scanner is in the configuration mode, (3) the scan mode is set to Test, Continuous or Alternate Mode, (4) 1560P is in Auto-Sense mode and seated in the 3656 stand, or (5) the setting value of Power-Saving is greater than that of Auto Power Off. 1.1.2.2 AUTO POWER OFF For the scanner to save power, further to setting up “Power-Saving” mode, you may also need to enable “Auto Power Off”, which deals with a time for the scanner to automatically power off after power-on. Make the configuration that best suits your application while noting the following points: Auto Power Off: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable.1. By default, the scanner automatically shuts down 10 minutes after power-on.2. If Auto Power Off isn’t desired, set the parameter to 0 to disable it.3. When the scan mode is set to any of Continuous Mode, Test Mode, and AlternateMode, you need to enable “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode” in addition toenabling “Auto Power Off”. See the following section 1.1.2.3 Auto Power OffIgnoring Scan Mode to achieve auto power off.Note: When the scanner is set to any scan mode other than Continuous Mode, Test Mode and Alternate Mode, you can skip “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode”. Auto Power Off after 0~254 min. (*10) 1) Read the barcode above to enable the scanner to automatically turn off at a specifiedtime after power-on.2) Assign the auto power off time by reading the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 231.For example, read “1” and “5” for the scanner to automatically turn off after idlenessof 15 minutes.3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.

27 Update Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.1.3 POWER ECONOMY VS. WPAN CONNECTION Before the scanner can communicate with the host computer, Bluetooth connection (or WPAN connection) needs to be established. The scanner’s power economy always accommodates itself to the establishment of the WPAN connection. The following describes how the scanner carries out power economy before and after the establishment of the WPAN connection: Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully… 1. The scanner stays active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for the following scenarios. The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). (a) waiting for a connection request from the host (BT SPP Slave Mode) (b) trying to connect to the host (BT HID or BT SPP Master Mode) (c) trying to connect to 3656 2. If the scanner fails to connect within 2 minutes, it becomes inactive to save power for the remaining period of time (the specified “Auto Power Off” value minus 2 minutes). The CPU starts to run at low speed, and the LED begins to blink red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s). Pull the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will become active again. 3. If it fails to connect again and again, and finally stays inactive until the specified Auto Power Off time elapses, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power. Pull down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on again. Note: For scenarios (a) and (b) in step 1, you may need to search for the scanner again on your computer. After establishing a WPAN connection successfully… 1. Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for data transmission. The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). 2. If the scanner stays idle for 2 minutes (default), it will then turn inactive to save power for the remaining period of time (the specified “Auto Power Off” value minus 2 minutes). The CPU runs at low speed, and the LED is blinking red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s). Pull the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, then the scanner will stay active again.  For BT HID or SPP, the scanner automatically shuts down after the configured “Auto Power Off” time without the transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed. However, when connecting with 3656, the scanner will go through the transition in order to save power. 3. If the scanner first becomes idle and finally stays inactive until the specified Auto Power Off time is up, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power. You will hear three short beeps, tone descending from high to low. Pull down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on again.  For BT HID, the scanner resumes the connection with the host upon powering on again, as long as the host application is running. You will hear three short beeps, tone ascending from low to high upon the resumption. If the scanner fails to resume the connection, it will
28 Enter Setup 1560P Series Barcode Scanner User Guide try every 5 seconds to re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the “Reset Connection” barcode. For BT SPP Slave Mode, the scanner waits for the host to re-connect.For BT SPP Master Mode, the scanner resumes the connection with the host uponpowering on again as long as the host application is running. You will hear three shortbeeps, tone ascending from low to high upon resumption. If the scanner fails to resumethe connection, it will try every 5 seconds to re-connect to the host unless you have thescanner read the “Reset Connection” or “Restore System Defaults” barcode.With the use of 3656, the scanner tries to re-connect 3656 unless you turn off thescanner.
29 Update Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.2 MEMORY The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode. 1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER By default, transmit buffer is enabled and for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 4 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full. When transmit buffer is enabled… If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with two short beeps, high-low tone, upon reading a barcode successfully. When transmit buffer is full, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range. When transmit buffer is disabled… If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly.

Note: When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side, or you want to change to use BT HID, it is suggested that you remove the scanner from the paired device list (called unpairing) and go through the whole process to re-establish the connection. 12. Run the desired application on your computer, such as HyperTerminal.exe if using BT SPP or Notepad.exe if using BT HID. The status of the scanner listed on the device list will be updated to “Connected”, indicating the WPAN connection is established successfully via the outgoing COM port if using BT SPP. Note: Even though the scanner is connected to the host with authentication disabled (= no PIN code required), the host may still request a PIN code while the application is opening COM port. Dynamic input of PIN code is supported so that you may input a matching PIN code on the scanner. Refer to Disable Authentication or Use Random PIN. Select and Remove

For example, read “0065” for barcode length of65 characters or read “0000” for any length.Note: If not reading 0000 for any length, the 4-digit length must exclude prefix, suffix (0x0d by default), length code, etc. 4) Matching Character setting – read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 232 forthe 1st character that must be found matching in the (first) barcode. For example,read “4” and “1” for matching character “A” as the first character in the barcode orread “00” for any character.5) Read twice the “F” barcode on page 232 (“FF”) to complete the setting of eachbarcode.6) Read the “Validate” barcode to end the editing of the barcode set.
179 Update Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 5.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied. When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted. When “Apply Output Sequence” is enabled, only barcodes found meeting with the criteria are counted for the concatenation. Those found not meeting with the criteria are processed normally and individually. Note: When it requires reading more barcodes to complete the “output sequence” requirements, the scanner will respond with one short beep (low tone). After reading an acceptable barcode, its LED indicator will become solid green and go off quickly (= Good Read). Upon completion of reading acceptable barcodes, the scanner will respond with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will become solid green and go off quickly (= Good Read). *Ignore Output Sequence Enforce Output Sequence Apply Output Sequence Warning: When you disable the Multi-Barcode Editor later, the scan mode remains unchanged. If Laser mode is not desired, proceed to select a scan mode best suits your application.
180 Enter Setup 1560P Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 character, but it will remove every matching character encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met. For example, if it is configured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off. Remove Special Character 1) Read the barcode above to remove the specified character.2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 232 for the desired character.For example, read “3” and “0” for the scanner to remove the character “0”.3) Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting.
