Scanning Modes
The imager can operate in one of several scanning modes:
Trigger Single —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated
until one of the following occurs:
- a programmable duration
1
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
programmable duration
1
has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts
and the product scans until the trigger is released or a program-
mable duration
1
has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable
scanning. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple
reads while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled and released,
scanning is activated until programmable duration
1
has elapsed
or the trigger has been pulled again to transition to another
state. Double Read Timeout
2
prevents undesired multiple reads
while in this mode.
Flashing —
The reader flashes
3
on and off regardless of the trigger
status.
1. See the Product Reference Guide (PRG) for additional programmable
features, in this case: Scanning Active Time.
2. Double Read Timeout is also programmed using the PRG.
3. Controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. Use the PRG to pro-
gram these options.
