USER'S GUIDE
window enables a mixed reading mode where bar codes are read alongside “nor-
mal” data. The parameter "Reading Mode" in the IRISPen application window
determines what kind of data is read, this option determines whether read bar
codes can be read at the same time. The mixed reading mode is limited to the
IRISPen Executive.)
When multiline scanning is enabled with the option "Multiline" in the IRISPen
application window, the pen button takes on a special meaning. Multiple lines are
“buffered” before they are inserted, spoken and translated. (This option is limited
to the IRISPen Executive and the IRISPen Translator.) It takes a click of the pen
button to “flush” the scanned text, to insert it in the active application and start the
speech and translation process.
It should be noted that the pen button remains a programmable command
button, even when the “multiline” mode of operation is enabled. When the multiline
scanning is enabled, the first click of the pen button triggers the “flush”, all con-
secutive pen button clicks are interpreted according to their programming (if any).
An immediate double-click preceding the flush is also interpreted as the flush
command.
Imagine that the single button click is programmed to execute <Tab> and the
double button is programmed to click to insert "$". After each scanned line, the
status window blinks with the message "Press pen button to flush". As soon as
the text is “flushed” with the first pen button click, an additional pen button click
executes the <Tab> key to move the cursor to the next field. The double button
click inserts "$" in the application.

with the command "Open Settings" under the "File" menu.

"Starting Code" and "Ending Code" of the "Alignment" button on the toolbar is
used.
The user can program a hotkey to go through the reading modes from within
the active application with the command "Hotkeys" under the "Settings" menu.
