Default = No Delay.
User-Specified Good Read Delay
If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code 
below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from

Trigger Modes
Manual/Serial Trigger
You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-
ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4).  When in manual trigger 
mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.  
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until 
the deactivate command is sent.  In serial mode, the imager can also be set to 
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol-
lows). 
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when 
using serial commands to trigger the imager.  Once the imager has timed out, 
you can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-
