Auto-Load allows you to enter a Match Entry data string by scanning
the desired bar code label. Usually, the Auto-Load input is provided
by a switch or push button connected to one of the AdaptaScan I/O
in the wiring base.

To configure a Match Entry for Auto-Load:

1. On the Match Function dialog (page 11–9), select Auto-Load as

the function.

2. Use the Auto-Load Trigger Source dialog (page 11–19) to define

the trigger source.

After the AdaptaScan has been configured and running, Auto-Load
symbol data by triggering the decoder while the desired symbol is
being scanned and decoded. The Auto-Load input must be energized
before the decoder is triggered and must remain on until the decoder
trigger goes off.
