Scanning Mode

Description

Manual Trigger

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or

until the trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced.

Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth

of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but

slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you

require a very fast speed and don’t require a long working range. Default =

Manual Triger-Normal.

Presentation

Mode

Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scan engine illumination to detect

bar codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code

is presented to the scan engine, then the aimer turns on and the LEDs turn up

to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation

Mode may not work properly.

Streaming

Presentation

Mode

When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan engine’s aimer goes out after

a short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously

search for bar codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced.

Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth

of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but

slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you

require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range.

Host Notify Mode

Host Notify Mode bypasses the decoder and notifies the host that there has

been a hardware trigger pull. When in Host Notify Mode, it is up to the host to

initiate an Image Snap and/or an Image Ship command. It is also up to the

host to switch to another trigger mode.

Snap and Ship

Mode

Snap and Ship mode, allows you to bypass the decoder and ship an

imagedirectly to the host. In this mode, an image is taken and shipped upon

eachtrigger pull, instead of being sent to the decoder. Snap and Ship is useful

whenyou are using your own decoder.
