pattern and illumination system to capture and decode
the image. See "
Using the PowerScan™ PM/PBT9600" on
The aiming system will briefly switch off after the acquisi
-
tion time, and if no code is decoded will switch on again
before the next acquisition. The illuminator will remain on
until the symbol is decoded.
As you read code symbols, adjust the distance at which
you are holding the reader.
OPERATING MODES
Scan Mode
The reader can be set to operate in one of several scan
-
ning modes. See the PRG for more information and set
-
tings for any of the options:
Trigger Single (Default) —
This mode is associated with
typical handheld reader operation. Motion Sense is active
and if the scanner detects motion the aiming pattern is
turned on. When the trigger is pulled, illumination is
turned on and the scanner attempts to read a label. Scan
-
ning is activated until one of the following occurs:
•
the programmable “Scanning Active Time”
1
has elapsed
•
a label has been read
•
the trigger is released
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
Scanning begins when the trig
-
ger is pulled and continues after the trigger is released,
until the trigger is pulled again or until the programmable
“Scanning Active Time”
1
has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout
1
prevents
undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled,
scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is
released or “Scanning Active Time”
1
has elapsed. Reading
