Scanning Features
Scan Mode
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation. Selects the scan operating mode for the reader.
The following selections are valid for all models:
Trigger Single: When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following occurs:
- Scanning Active Time has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
Trigger Hold Multiple: When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is
released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double Read
Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple: When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated until Scanning Active Time
has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired
multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Flashing: The reader flashes on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is controlled by Flash On
Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the imager reads continuously; when Flash is OFF scanning is
deactivated.
Always On: No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the
same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode: No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on automatically when an item is
placed in the reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double
Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
