the scanner.
Trigger Mode Options
Mode Description
Continuous/Edge When you press the Scan button, the red scanner
beam turns and stays on. When you press the
Scan button a second time, the scanner turns off.
Simply releasing the button does not turn off the
scanner.
Level When you press the Scan button, the red scanner
beam turns on and stays on until you release the
Scan button or until the SF51 successfully
decodes a bar code.
When you scan a data bar code, data transmission
may be slow if there is interference with Bluetooth
communications, or if the SF51 is too far from
the host device. While the SF51 is waiting, the
scanner beam blinks. During this time, you can
scan configuration bar codes but not data bar
codes. When the SF51 receives acknowledgement
from the host, the scanner turns off, and the SF51
beeps.
Pulse
When you press the Scan button, the red scanner
beam turns on. The scanner remains on until the
Trigger Timeout period is reached.
Flashing When you press the Scan button, the red scanner
beam turns on and the SF51 checks for a bar code
to read. When the Trigger Timeout period is
reached, the scanner starts flashing. When the
SF51 finds and reads a bar code, it resets the
Trigger Timeout period. If you press the
Scan
button a second time, the scanner turns off.
