Cobalto™ CO5300 Scanner
Figure 1. Nomenclature and Labeling
Capacitive Touch Button
The Touch Button (also referred to as the trigger) located on the top of the scanner is actuated
by the electrical impulses present in a human fingertip, and is thus a capacitive Touch Button.
Normally, the scanner operates in omnidirectional mode, simultaneously projecting 20 lines
which form a scan pattern; highly useful for capturing bar codes presented from multiple
directions and angles.
When the Touch Button is actuated, the scanner enters single scan line operation, allowing the
scanner to more easily target and read truncated bar codes, or aim at a single label from
amongst multiple bar codes as an ordinary handheld scanner would do. For example, it is
recommended to use single line operation to read the programming bar codes presented in
this manual.
This button can also be used to wake up the scanner when it has gone to sleep.
Bottom Button
The scanner is also equipped with a mechanical button located at the bottom side of its base.
This Bottom Button s protected by a rubber seal and can perform two functions:
1. While using the Aladdin
TM
configuration utility, when a “force device connect” request is
made, the Bottom Button is used to activate this function.
2. This button is also used to activate the boot loader for firmware upgrade when this
request is made using the Aladdin utility. This is the button used when the Aladdin utility
asks to reset the product by powering up the product while keeping the button pressed.
