SCANNING THE READER SETUP MENU WITH
THE MS941 TRIGGERLESS LASER
In setting up the MS941 laser, using a wand or trigger-activated input device
is recommended for scanning the READER SETUP MENU. If you do not have
such an input device, you can use the MS941 Laser.
To facilitate using the MS941 in reading the MENU, the following suggestions
are provided:
1) Curl the READER SETUP MENU from right to left (or the
reverse), so that only one column of bar codes is exposed to
the laser at a time.
OR
2) Use sheets of paper to cover bar codes adjacent to the one
that is to be scanned.
NOTE: See the "Changing the Default Settings" section
for detailed instructions on changing the settings.
SETTING UP THE MS941 TRIGGERLESS LASER
There are three separate modes of operation for the MS941 Laser. Descriptions of
the operation and setup of each mode follow:
NON-CONTINUOUS SCANNING - DEFAULT MODE
Recommended Usage:
Recommended for general use. However, this mode requires the laser
beam to be removed from any reflective surface between scans.
Operation Description:
The laser will power ON when it is brought within 5 inches of a reflective
surface. It will scan until it reads the bar code, or reaches the time
period specified in the LASER/CCD TIMEOUT option (the default is 1
second) before shutting off. For the next scan, the laser must momen-
tarily be pointed away from any reflective surface, then brought back.
RE-READS: Accepts a re-read in the same manner as any other
read.
