Claim 4:
5. The scanning device of claim 1, comprising:
an orientation sensor configured to detect an orientation of an axis of the scanning device, wherein the axis comprises a forward-rearward axis extending along a lengthwise dimension of the scanning device and to the surface, and another axis extending through the scanning device and across the forward-rearward axis at a right angle;
a light source configured to illuminate the surface; and
an indicia scan trigger configured to be manually operated to trigger operation of the image sensor to capture the image of the indicia, wherein:
a first field of view (FOV) of the infrared detector and a second FOV of the image sensor extend outwardly from the scanning device in parallel with the axis of the scanning device; and
the processor is configured to:
in response to the detection of motion being imparted to the scanning device when the scanning device is in the low power state:
monitor the indicia scan trigger to detect the manual operation thereof;
in response to detection of the manual operation of the indicia scan trigger, and to a determination that the distance between the scanning device and the surface is less than a second threshold distance, operate the light source to output a low level of light to illuminate the surface, and operate the image sensor to capture the image of the indicia using the low level of light;
in response to detection of the manual operation of the indicia scan trigger, and to a determination that the distance between the scanning device and the surface is greater than the second threshold distance, operate the light source to output a high level of light that is higher than the low level of light to illuminate the surface, and operate the image sensor to capture the image of the indicia using the high level of light;
decode the indicia to retrieve the data encoded therein; and
operate a transceiver of the scanning device to transmit the decoded data to another device.
