Datalogic Scanning MAGELLAN 8500 - Manual (Page 116)

6-10 Magellan ® 8500 Scanner
Test Mode
Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This
special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is
not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code
to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS
terminal.
To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DIS-
ABLE bar code below.
TEST MODE = DISABLE
TEST MODE = ENABLE
NOTE
DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning the bar codes
on this page.
Scanning the TEST MODE = DISABLE bar code sets the Double Read
Timeout to 600ms.
