4.8 Timer Function - Automatic wake-up/sleep modes
On All Scanners
To best explain usage of the
Timer
automatic power function, please look at the following
example:
Your business opens a bit later on Mondays then on other days, so you want the scanner to
power on (wake-up) at 07:30 so that by the time you reach work at 08:00, the scanner will be
warmed up and ready to run at an optimal internal temperature. On Tuesday you need to
process a heavy copy order and anticipate a long day. You therefore set the scanner to shut
down (sleep) much later than usual. On Wednesdays, you are always attending meetings and
won’t need the scanner until after lunch. Thursday and Friday are normal workdays and the
shop is closed during the weekend.
You can program this whole weekly schedule into the scanner and rid yourself of worries about
getting early to work in order to warm up your equipment. Nor do you have to worry about
remembering to shut off the device before going home to save energy. Once you fill out the
timer values in WIDEsystem’s Timer tab, the scanner takes care of these things itself.
To use the Timer function:
1. Double-click on the scanner icon in the system tray to display the WIDEsystem interface.
2. Select
the
Timer
Tab.
3. Click the checkmark fields for each day you want automatic wake-up and sleep actions.
4. Click on the 2 hour digits in the day’s edit field under the Wake-up column to highlight it.
Use the arrow box to increase or decrease the hour value.
5. Click on the 2 minute digits in the day’s edit field under the Wake-up column to highlight it.
Use the arrow box to increase or decrease the minute value.
6. Repeat this process in the Sleep column for the same week-day.
7. Continue making settings for the other week-days in the same manner or….
8. You can use the Link Monday to Friday option to make your settings for Monday apply for
the whole work-day-week.
9.
Note
that the
Idle time before sleep time
setting
will still apply and may conflict with your
Timer
settings. Change the
Idle time before sleep time
setting if it does.
10. When you have filled out the dialog, press
Apply
to download your settings into the
scanner’s memory.
After making your Timer settings:
1. Your scanner will remember your settings even after you turn off your PC and thereby
shutdown the WIDEsystem application. The settings displayed in the WIDEsystem Timer
tab are retrieved from the scanner every time you start WIDEsystem. This means that the
Timer tab always displays the values currently stored in the scanner.
2. When WIDEsystem runs, it checks that the scanner’s clock is within 2 minutes from the PC
clock. If not, WIDEsystem will synchronize clocks. Normally this only happens when the
