Operating Modes
Scan Mode
The imager can be set to operate in one of several scanning modes. See
the PRG for more information and settings for any of the options:
Trigger Single (Default) —
This mode is associated with typical handheld
reader operation. When the trigger is pulled, illumination is turned on
and the scanner attempts to read a label. Scanning is activated until one
of the following occurs:
• the programmable “maximum scan on time”
1
has elapsed
• a label has been read
• the trigger is released
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
Scanning begins when the trigger is pulled and
continues after the trigger is released, until the trigger is pulled again or
until the programmable “maximum scan on time”
1
has elapsed. Read-
ing a label does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout
1
prevents
undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and
the product scans until the trigger is released or “maximum scan on
time”
1
has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double
Read Timeout
1
prevents undesired multiple reads while in this mode.
Always On —
The illuminator is always ON and the reader is always
ready for code reading. Double Read Timeout
1
prevents undesired mul-
tiple reads.
Flashing —
The reader illuminator flashes on and off regardless of the
trigger status. Code reading takes place only during the Flash On
2
time.
Double Read Timeout
1
prevents undesired multiple reads.
Object Detection —
The scanner looks for changes within its field-of-
view. The Aiming Pattern is always on to show the optimum reading
area. If a predefined amount of movement is detected, the white illumi-
nation switches on. Scanning continues until a label is read or "maxi-
mum scan on time" is reached.
