Scanning Modes
The reader can operate in one of several scanning modes:
Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated
until one of the following occurs:
- a programmable duration
1
has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation:
when the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans
until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the maximum pro-
grammable duration
1
has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning
starts and the product scans until the trigger is released or a pro-
grammable duration
1
has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable
scanning. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple
reads while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple — When the trigger is pulled and released,
scanning is activated until programmable duration
1
has elapsed or
the trigger has been pulled again to transition to another state.
Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple reads while in
this mode.
Flashing — The reader flashes
3
on and off regardless of the trigger
status.
Always On — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scan-
ning is continually on
4
.
Stand Mode — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scan-
ning is alternatively turned on and off.
1. See the Product Reference Guide (PRG) for additional programmable fea-
tures, in this case: Scanning Active Time.
2. Double Read Timeout is also programmed using the PRG.
3. Controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. Use the PRG to program
these options.
4. For energy saving purposes, the Always On feature has a user program-
mable timeout (default 5 hours of inactivity). A single manual trigger
pull is required to reactivate the scanner after the timeout.
