Scanning Features

Scan Mode

Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:
Trigger Single —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
-Scanning Active Time 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 Scanning Active Time has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same
label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated
until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again.
Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.
Flashing —
The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is
controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the imager reads con-
tinuously. When Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.
Always On —
No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on.
If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read
Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode —
No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on au-
tomatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple
reads of the same label while in this mode.
Trigger Object Sense —
This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull
is required to activate the decoder.
