8-3 Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scan engine with serial trigger commands.
First, the scan engine must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a
Manual Trigger Mode bar code, or by sending a serial menu command for
triggering.
Once the scan engine is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and
deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate: SYN T CR
(ASCII 22,84,13)
Deactivate: SYN U CR
(ASCII 22,85,13)
The scan engine scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate
command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see "Read
Time-Out" for a description, and the serial command).
