Trigger Modes

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 9-4). 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, which fol- lows).

Read Time-Out

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 from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000.
