Scanner Trigger Modes

Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 10-4). When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out (Serial Trigger Mode), which follows).

* Manual/Serial Trigger

Read Time-Out (Serial Trigger Mode)

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Outbar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 0 ms (no time-out).

Read Time-Out

Scanner Power Time-Out Timer

Note: The Scanner Power Time-out Timer option only applies to Manual/Serial Trigger.

When there is no activity within a specified time period, the scanner enters low power mode. Scan the Scanner Power Time-Out bar code to change the time- out duration (in seconds). Then scan the digit value of the duration (from 1- 10,800 seconds) and the Save bar codes on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 3600 seconds (1 hour).
