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 
following occurs:
•
Scanning Active Time on page 83
 has elapsed
• a label has been read
• the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trig-
ger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, 
or a label is read, or the maximum 
Scanning Active Time on page 83
 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 on page 83
 has elapsed. 
Reading a label does not disable scanning. 
Double Read Timeout on page 70
 pre-
vents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple: 
When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is acti-
vated until 
Scanning Active Time on page 83
 has elapsed or the trigger has been 
released and pulled again. 
Double Read Timeout on page 70
 prevents undesired 
multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Flashing: 
The reader flashes

 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash 
rate is controlled by 
Flash On Time on page 84
 and 
Flash Off Time on page 85
. When 
Flash is ON the reader reads continuously. When Flash is OFF scanning is deac-
tivated.
Always On: 
No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is continually 
on. 
Double Read Timeout on page 70
 prevents undesired multiple reads while in 
this mode.

 Stand Mode: 
No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning 
is turned on automatically 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 
on page 70
 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.
