Modes of Operation
The MS4980 supports two standard modes of operation for scanning bar codes,
automatic activation and manual activation scanning. Scanning while in the
automatic activation mode can occur in either one of two configurable options,
pass-through

With the default configuration, the scanner
operates in the pass-through state for 300 ms and then changes to the
presentation state for additional decoding capability.
