The scanner is always on. A good scan causes the scanner to reset and continue scanning.
The scanner operates in Monarch® 6037 compatible mode, which means the scanner is on when the trigger is pressed and goes off after a successful scan or a predetermined timeout period.
Note: An unsuccessful scans turns off the scanner and activates the tone (.wav file) set using the Scanner Configuration menu. A “no scan” is interpreted as an unsuccessful scan.

The printer ignores the trigger press and does not turn on the scanner.
The printer passes the trigger press to the application as an F11, which allows for more control of the application. You can code a custom application to perform a special function whenever it receives an F11.
7. Enable Send Scan Status to return the data after any scan. This data precedes the bar code and includes the length of data and bar code type. See Appendix A, “Scan Status Values,” for more information.
8. Set the No Scan Timeout in tenths of seconds, which is the amount of time the scanner beam is on before turning off when the trigger is pressed. The range is 5 – 99. The default is 30.
