Trigger Mode Options
Mode Description
Continuous/
Edge
When you pull the trigger, the red scanner beam
turns and stays on. When you pull the trigger a
second time, the scanner beam turns off. Simply
releasing the trigger does not turn off the scanner.
Level When you pull the trigger, the red scanner beam
turns on and stays on until you release the trigger
or until the SR61 successfully decodes a bar code.
When you scan a data bar code, data transmission
may be slow if there is interference with Bluetooth
communications, or if the SR61 is too far from
the host device. While the SR61 is waiting, the
scanner beam blinks. During this time, you can
scan configuration bar codes but not data bar
codes. When the SR61 receives acknowledgement
from the host, the scanner turns off, and the SR61
beeps.
Pulse When you pull the trigger, the red scanner beam
turns on. The scanner remains on until the
Trigger Timeout period is reached.
Flashing When you pull the trigger, the red scanner beam
turns on and the SR61 checks for a bar code to
read. When the Trigger Timeout period is
reached, the scanner starts flashing. When the
SR61 finds and reads a bar code, it resets the
Trigger Timeout period. If you pull the trigger a
second time, the scanner beam turns off.
Autostand Autostand mode allows you to switch between
level mode and flashing mode. The first time you
pull the trigger, the scanner beam turns on and
the scanner is in flashing mode. You switch to
level mode by pulling the trigger again. If the
scanner is idle and the Trigger Timeout period is
reached, the scanner returns to flashing mode.
Aim Aim triggering allows you to turn on the scanner
and aim the red scanner beam without causing a
decode. Releasing the trigger enables the decode.
Note: EasySet contains a folder, predefined modes, in Operating
settings > trigger activation. The commands in this folder are
currently not supported on the SR61.
