Scanning Modes
If the interface type is changed, scanner configuration may automati-
cally reset to a different Scanning Mode.
The reader can operate in one of several scanning modes:
Trigger Single —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following
occurs:
- a programmable duration
1
has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is pulled,
scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the
maximum programmable duration
1
has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans
until the trigger is released or a programmable duration
1
has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple reads while in
this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled and released, scanning is activated un-
til programmable duration1 has elapsed or the trigger has been pulled again to transition to
another state. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
Flashing —
The reader flashes
3
on and off regardless of the trigger status.
Always On —
No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is continually on.
Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
Hands-Free Mode —
No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is turned on
automatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if in Trigger Single mode. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple
reads while in this mode.
NOTE
1.
See the Product Reference Guide (PRG) for additional programmable features, such as Scanning Active Time.
2.
Double Read Timeout is also programmed using the PRG.
3.
Controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. Use the PRG to program these options.
