Chapter 5 Scanning Control
Two types of scanning controls are available--Trigger switch control and Software control.
Trigger switch control: Pressing the trigger switch readies the scanner for scanning. (Refer to Section 5.1.)
Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the
Bluetooth
®
interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby. (Refer to Section 5.2.) The
software control is not available via HID (Human Interface Device) Profile.
In addition, the auto sensing mode is also available. (Refer to Sections 5.3 and 5.4.)
5.1 Trigger Switch Control
Pressing the trigger switch turns on the illumination LEDs and readies the scanner for scanning. The scanner supports
the following six trigger switch operating modes. Select the one that best meets your needs using the QR-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
(1) Auto-off mode
When the trigger switch is pressed, the scanner is brought to the Active state for approximately 5 seconds.
The scanner automatically returns to the Ready state when reading is successfully completed, or after approximately
five seconds elapsed with the trigger switch pressed.
The scanner goes to the Ready state if the trigger switch is released before five seconds elapses. (in the case of normal
mode)
When the Auto off mode is set to be active only once (One-shot mode), the time required for the scanner to become
the Ready state after the trigger switch was pressed shall be designated in the setting.
(2) Momentary switching mode
The scanner is brought to the Active state only when the trigger switch is pressed, and returns to the Ready state when
the trigger switch is released.
(3) Momentary switching mode (Reverse type)
The scanner is brought to the Ready state only when the trigger switch is pressed, and returns to the Active state when
the trigger switch is released.
(4) Alternate switching mode
The scanner alternates between the Active state and the Ready state every time the trigger switch is pressed.
(5) Continuous reading mode 1
Establishing the Bluetooth

wireless link or selecting the "Scan w/ Bluetooth

link broken" parameter, the scanner
lights the illumination LEDs and becomes ready to scan. The scanner ignores all trigger switch input.
If the scanner receives the Z, READOFF or LOFF command, it switches to standby; if it receives the R, READON or
LON command, it becomes ready to scan.
You can select whether or not the scanner transmits the ERROR command when the scanner cannot complete reading
and switches to standby, using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
(6) Continuous reading mode 2
This mode is functionally equivalent to the continuous reading mode 1, except that the scanner waits for a command
upon completion of scanning. To become ready to scan, the scanner should receive the Z, READOFF or LOFF
command to switch to standby and then receive the R, READON or LON command.
You can select whether or not the scanner transmits the ERROR command when the scanner cannot complete
scanning and switches to standby, using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
Note: When you are setting parameters using the QR-coded parameter menu, the scanner is always in the auto-off mode
regardless of the trigger switch operating mode selected.
Note: Establishing the Bluetooth

wireless link or selecting the "Scan w/ Bluetooth

link broken" parameter enables the
trigger switch control.
