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 follow-
ing occurs:
• Stand Mode/Object Detection 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 Stand Mode/Object Detection has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple: 
When  the  trigger  is  pulled,  scanning  starts  and  the  product
scans until the trigger is released or Stand Mode/Object Detection 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 Stand Mode/Object  Detection has elapsed or the  trigger has been released and
pulled again. 
Double Read Timeout 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 bar code. Scanning is continually on.
Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.
Stand Mode/Object Detection: 
No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning
turns on automatically when an item is placed in reader's field of view. While in a stand
watch state, the reader illumination LED goes from dim to maximum bright.
Retained Trigger Hold Multiple: 
Same as Trigger Hold Multiple but all decoded labels
are transmitted when the trigger is released. The labels can be sorted before transmis-
sion. When the reader is configured in Retained Trigger Hold Multiple, it is possible to
set the parameter 
Multiple Labels Ordering by Code Symbology to specify the order multi-
ple labels are transmitted by symbology type.
To configure the code symbology order, choose the corresponding digits from the fol-
lowing table:
