1.13 OPERATION MODE
For 1564, it supports different scan modes and signature capture in Decode Mode. Two
more operation modes are supported, which are Image Mode and Video Mode. Image
capture occurs in all modes of operation, and it requires software applications, such as
ScanMaster, to capture and download images to PC for decoding. Please refer to separate
manual for OCX programming support.
For Image Mode, Video Mode or signature capture in Decode Mode, the output interface
must be RS-232, USB Virtual COM or BT SPP. Both active and passive modes are
supported.

Active Mode: Application on the host will send command to instruct the scanner to
stay in a specific operation mode (Image Mode/Video Mode/Signature Capture) and
wait for image data. Press the trigger to capture and send an image.

Passive Mode: First, it requires the scanner to read the setup barcodes for the desired
operation — signature Capture, Image Mode or Video Mode. Then, it will passively
wait for image data. Press the trigger to capture and send an image.
Signature Capture, Image Mode or Video Mode
Have the scanner read the setup barcodes in a separate but complete sequence. For example,
the following sequence will allow the scanner to enter Image Mode:
But the sequence below will allow you to configure settings only:
Refer to 1.13.2 Enter/Exit Image Mode .
