Serial Trigger
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger
command (see Trigger Commands on page 242). You must be in a serial interface
mode in order to use serial triggering. Refer to RS232 Serial Port (page 16) or USB
Serial (page 18) for further information. When in serial mode, the scanner scans
until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scan-
ner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read
Time-Out, which follows).
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 Programming Chart,
beginning on page 309, then Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scanner illumination to detect bar
codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code is pre-
sented to the scanner, 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
Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the battery will not
charge unless the power supply is plugged into the base’s auxiliary power port.
Scan the following bar code to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.
