Trigger Modes
Manual/Serial Trigger
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-
ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 9-4). When in manual trigger
mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol-
lows).
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger
when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has
timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a
serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the
time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the
inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000.
Automatic Trigger
The scanner scans continuously using internal LEDs to detect bar codes.
