l
Single
: Acquires a single image and attempts to decode any symbol it contains or more than one symbol in cases
where multicode is enabled. The reader relies on an external trigger source.
l
Presentation
: Repeatedly scans for a symbol and decodes it whenever one is detected. The reader relies on an
internal timing mechanism to acquire images.
l
Manual
(default): Begins acquiring images when you press the trigger button on the reader or the discrete trigger
input is activated, and continues acquiring images until a symbol is found and decoded or you release the button
or the discrete trigger input is deactivated.
l
Burst
: Performs multiple image acquisitions based on an external trigger and decodes one or multiple symbols
appearing in the sequence of images.
l
Self
: Similar to
Presentation
mode in that the reader perpetually scans for symbols and decodes them each time
one is detected. Unlike
Presentation
mode, however,
Self
mode supports multicode results and a decode attempt
occurs with every image. The main difference between
Self
and
Presentation
is the fixed and exact interval for
image acquisitions in
Self
.
l
Continuous
: Begins acquiring images based on a single external trigger and continues to acquire images until a
symbol is found and decoded, or until multiple images containing as many codes as specified in multicode mode
are located, or until the trigger is released.
S models do not have Burst and Continuous trigger types.
Training and Trigger Modes
Training is supported for the following trigger modes:
l
Single trigger
l
Burst mode
l
Self trigger
l
Continuous mode
Training
Training your reader with the expected symbology may help increase decode yield. To train your reader, place a code in
front of the reader and do one of the following:
l
Press and hold the Trigger button for at least 3 seconds and the release it.
l
Click and hold the Trigger button in the DataMan Setup Tool for at least 3 seconds and then release it.
l
Click
Train Code
in the
Action
ribbon of the DataMan Setup Tool.
If using Single trigger mode, upload the code through
File
->
Train Image
.
Note
: You can use training in
Single
,
Burst
,
Continuous
or
Self
trigger modes. Only a single symbol of each kind of
symbology can be trained per read setup.
DataMan 260 reports the status of the training and brightness optimization operations using its signaling LEDs. The
second LED from left on the reader flashes green to indicate that the reader is currently trained, or yellow to indicate that
it is not trained.
