SCANNER OPERATION  
There are two scan pattern modes available with the MS7180. 
• 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 top of the scanner.  This mode is also referred to as the 
button mode.  For additional information on OrbitCG’s button modes and an 
example of each, please refer to Button Functions below. 
The scanner returns to the primary (omni) 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. 
The button on the top of the MS7180 can be configured to function in one of  
two modes. 
• Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Enabled (Default) 
• Button Click 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.
