Output – When Output is enabled, data is received from the scanner and processed via the wedge but an application can also
open the WDG0: device and write data to it. An example is when a printer is connected to the same COM port as the scanner
via a switch. Data can be written to the WDG device and is redirected to the associated COM port. The application must open
the WDG0: port, not the COMx: port as the Wedge has exclusive rights to the COM port. If Output is not enabled, the WDG0:
port can still be opened, but any attempts to write to that port fail.
Adjust the settings and tap ok to save the changes. The changes take effect immediately.
Continuous Scan Mode
Start > Settings > System > Data Collection > Main
Continuous scan mode is only available if the MX9 is equipped with a Symbol scanner. Continuous scan mode draws power
from the main battery every time a scan read/decode sequence is performed.
Enabling Continuous Scan Mode will ensure the laser is always on and decoding.
Note: Do not scan decoder engine configuration bar codes when Continuous Scan Mode is on. Configuration bar codes do
not decode when scanned while Continuous Scan Mode is On.
Caution: Laser beam is emitted continuously. Do not look or stare into the laser beam.
Set the Timeout between same symbol to a value sufficient to prevent the beeper from continuously beeping when a symbol is
left in the scanner’s field of view.
If trigger mode, power mode, or timeout between same symbol parameters are changed using external configuration bar codes
in the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide, the operating system automatically restores the parameters to their
programmed settings upon a cold boot and/or any change made in the Data Collection settings.
When the scanner is in continuous mode the trigger and scan buttons function as a scanner On/Off switch.
The scanner red LED will always be off in continuous mode. The audio beeps and green LED function the same as they do for
normal trigger mode.
Switching to and from continuous and normal trigger modes is in effect after upon tapping the ok button and waiting for the
amber scan LED to go out. A reboot is not required or necessary.
