Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 12, 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 an axis of the scanning device;
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; and
the method comprises:
in response to the detection of motion being imparted to the scanning device when the scanning device is in the low power state, performing operations comprising:
monitoring an indicia scan trigger of the scanning device to detect 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, operating a light source of the scanning device to output a low level of light to illuminate the surface, and operating 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, operating the light source to output a high level of light that is higher than the low level of light to illuminate the surface, and operating the image sensor to capture the image of the indicia using the high level of light;
decoding, by the processor, the indicia to retrieve the data encoded therein; and
operating a transceiver of the scanning device to transmit the decoded data to another device.
