Imager’s APO
This function will shut down the power to the CMOS Imager automatically if it has not been used
for a while.
After activating the APO (Automatic Power OFF) function, the imager’s power can be turned on
again if one of the following functions is invoked. The time period of the APO function can be set
up in the range of 0 to 1,800 seconds. Specifying “0” will disable it.
The power consumption by the imager can be curbed while the APO function is activating.
However, note that it takes about 30 milliseconds to put the power back on.
The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the Imager’s APO are as follows.
IMGSetImagerAPO
: Sets up time period for Auto Power OFF.
IMGGetImagerAPO
: Retrieves time period for Auto Power Off.
Configuration File
The various setting values made at “Imager Setting” of the Control Panel can be stored in an
INI-type file and resumed. The configuration file storage location and its name are
“\FlashDisk\System Settings\IMGSet.ini”.
By calling IMGLoadConfigFile function, the content in the configuration file is deployed into
the Imager, or the default values are used to initiate the Imager if there is no such the
configuration file.
The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the Configuration File are as follows.
IMGLoadConfigFile
: Sets up the Imager using configuration file.
IMGSaveConfigFile
: Retrieves the Imager settings and saves into configuration file.
The setting in the configuration file is divided into two parts, the setting for scanning bar codes
and the other for common operations. See the next three pages.
