the ms7320 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 17).
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 17). this mode is the only power save mode that can be activated by the multi-function button (see figure 16). 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 17).
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 17).

changing the beeper tone
a short ([3 second) depression and the beeper tone will change. the new tone will be heard, followed by a short pause. then two more of the new tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory. the silent (no beep) tone is also selectable.
