SCANNER OPERATION

Configurable Primary and Secondary Scan Pattern Modes

There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the MS3580.

• The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the

scanner starts.

• The secondary scan pattern mode is activated by pressing the button

located on the side of the scanner. This mode is also referred to as the

button mode. For additional information on Quantum’s button modes and an

example of each, please refer to Configurable Button Functions below.

The scanner returns to the primary scan pattern mode after a double

click of the button or if the unit has not scanned a bar code for the

duration of a pre-configured time limit.

Each pattern mode can be configured to use one of three scan patterns listed

below. Please refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for information on

changing the default scan pattern settings.

• all scan lines on (omnidirectional reading)

• single-line (menu reading)

• horizontal raster

If CodeGate is enabled, it will apply to the secondary pattern mode

when scanning. For detailed information on CodeGate and the button

refer to the Configurable Button Functions.

The button on the side of the MS3580 can be configured to function in one of

four modes.

• Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Enabled (Default)

• Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Disabled

• Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Enabled

• Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Disabled

The following pages include examples of how the button will function when the

unit has been configured to operate in each of the four button modes.
