Scanning
Mode
Description
Manual
Trigger
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the
trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode
offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced
mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than
Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast speed and
don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Triger-Normal.
Presentation
Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scan engine illumination to detect bar
codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code is
presented to the scan engine, 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.
Streaming
Presentation
Mode
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan engine’s aimer goes out after a short
time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search for bar
codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good
scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give
you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode.
Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t
require a long working range.
Host Notify
Mode
Host Notify Mode bypasses the decoder and notifies the host that there has been a
hardware trigger pull. When in Host Notify Mode, it is up to the host to initiate an
Image Snap and/or an Image Ship command. It is also up to the host to switch to
another trigger mode.
Snap and
Ship Mode
Snap and Ship mode, allows you to bypass the decoder and ship an image directly to
the host. In this mode, an image is taken and shipped upon each trigger pull, instead
of being sent to the decoder. Snap and Ship is useful when you are using your own
decoder.
