Operating modes
Scan mode
You can set the scanner to operate in one of several scanning modes, as follows:
Trigger Single (default) – This mode is associated with typical handheld barcode scanner operation. When the
trigger is pulled, illumination is turned on, and the scanner attempts to read a label. Scanning is activated
until one of the following occurs:
● The programmable maximum scan on time has elapsed.
● A label is read.
● The trigger is released.
Trigger Pulse Multiple – Scanning begins when the trigger is pulled and continues after the trigger is released
and until the trigger is pulled again or the programmable maximum scan on time has elapsed. Reading a label
does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents unwanted multiple reads while in this mode.
Trigger Hold Multiple – When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is
released or maximum scan on time* has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double Read
Timeout prevents unwanted multiple reads while in this mode.
Always On – The illuminator is always on and the barcode scanner is always ready for code reading. Double
Read Timeout prevents unwanted multiple reads.
Flashing – The barcode scanner illuminator ashes on and o regardless of the trigger status. Code reading
takes place only during the Flash On* time. Double Read Timeout* prevents unwanted multiple reads.
Object Detection – The scanner looks for changes within its eld of view. The aiming pattern is always on to
show the optimum reading area. If a predened amount of movement is detected, white illumination switches
on. Scanning continues until a label is read or maximum scan on time is reached.
*Controlled by Flash On Time and Flash O Time.
