Scanning Features
Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:
Trigger Single — 
When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
- Scanning Active Time has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is 
pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read, 
or the maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple  — 
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product 
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does 
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same 
label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple — 
When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated 
until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again. 
Double Read Timeout
1
 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this 
mode.
Flashing — 
The reader flashes
1
 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is 
controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the reader reads con-
tinuously, when Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.
Always On — 
No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on. 
If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read 
Timeout
1
 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode — 
No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on au-
tomatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the 
reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout
1
 prevents undesired multiple 
reads of the same label while in this mode.
Trigger Object Sense — 
This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull 
is required to activate the decoder.
