Systems and methods for dynamically changing regulator voltage of a scanning device having an illumination system and an imager

A computer system for dynamically changing regulator voltage of a scanning device having an illumination system and an imager to reduce current consumption during a suspend mode, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• detect an indication to initiate the suspend mode of the scanning device, and
• adjust, by executing a suspension routine, the voltage of a first voltage regulator of the scanning device from a first level to a second level, wherein the first voltage regulator provides power for use by (i) the microcontroller, (ii) the illumination system, and (iii) the imager, and the second level is less than the first level,
• wherein:
• a second voltage regulator is disposed between the first voltage regulator and the microcontroller;
• and
• the second voltage regulator provides power for use by the microcontroller at a third level that is less than the second level.
