Manual Trigger Modes

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. Two modes are avail- able, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is

best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Trigger - Normal.

If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below. This sets the LED illumination for the scanner when the trigger is pressed. Default = High.

Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera. The lower the ambient light in the room, the brighter the LEDs need to be so the scanner can “see” the bar codes.

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-3). When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).
