Secondary Trigger ModeManual/Serial Trigger
You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The imager can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager 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.
Read Time-Out
Note: Programming Read Time-Out in the secondary interface also programs it in the primary interface.
Manual Trigger, Low Power
When using Manual Trigger, Low Power, the imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time-Outbar code below. There is a delay of up to one second in operation when the imager is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power time-out mode.
Manual Trigger, Low Power
Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge applications.
