6 - 22 DS36X8 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Hand-held Trigger Mode
Parameter # 138 (SSI # 8Ah)
Select one of the following trigger modes for the digital scanner.
• Standard (Level) - A trigger pull activates decode processing. Decode processing continues until the
barcode decodes, you release the trigger, or the Decode Session Timeout on page 6-30 occurs.
• Presentation (Blink) - The digital scanner activates decode processing when it detects a barcode in its field
of view. After a period of non-use, the digital scanner enters a low power mode, in which the LEDs turn off
until the digital scanner senses motion.
• Auto Aim - This trigger mode projects the aiming dot when you lift the digital scanner. A trigger pull activates
decode processing. After 5 seconds of inactivity the aiming dot shuts off.
• Two Stage Option 1 - Upon trigger pull, the aimer appears. When the trigger is released, the scanner activates
decode processing, using the currently configured decode session timeout. If the trigger is pulled again while
in a decode session, the session is terminated and the aimer appears.
• Two Stage Option 2 - Upon trigger pull, the aimer appears. When the trigger is released, the aimer turns off.
Pulling the trigger twice quickly activates decode processing, until the trigger is released.
NOTE The DS36X8-ER only uses Near Focus in Presentation (Blink) mode.
NOTE The DS36X8-HP, HD, and DP scanner uses an internal dim illumination state when it enters low power
mode until motion is detected.
