Scanning Modes
The reader can operate in one of several scanning modes:
Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated
until one of the following occurs:
- a programmable duration
1
has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation:
when the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans
until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the maximum
programmable duration
1
has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts
and the product scans until the trigger is released or a program-
mable duration
1
has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable
scanning. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple
reads while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple — When the trigger is pulled and released,
scanning is activated until programmable duration
1
has elapsed
or the trigger has been pulled again to transition to another
state. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple reads
while in this mode.
Flashing — The reader flashes
3
on and off regardless of the trigger
status.
Always On — No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scan-
ning is continually on. Double Read Timeout
4
prevents unde-
sired multiple reads while in this mode.
Autosense® Stand Mode — No trigger pull is required to read a bar
code. Scanning is turned on automatically when an item is
placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the reader
acts as if it in Trigger Single mode. Double Read Timeout
5
prevents undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
NOTE
If the interface type is changed, scanner configu-
ration may be automatically reset to a different
Scanning Mode.
