User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 4 - 9
Trigger Mode
Parameter # 8Ah
Select one of the following trigger modes for the digital scanner:
•
Level (Standard) - Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears for a programmable duration of time. After this
time, the aiming dot changes to a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser
scanning beam stays on until the Decode Session Timeout on page 4-28 occurs, a decode occurs, or the
trigger is released. If the trigger is released before the timeout expires, the laser shuts off and no decode
occurs.
•
Two Stage Option 1 (DS3508-ER only) - Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears. When the trigger is released,
the aiming dot changes to a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning
beam stays on for one-third of the currently configured decode timeout. If the trigger is pulled again while in a
decode session, the scanner beam returns to an aiming dot.
•
Two Stage Option 2 (DS3508-ER only) - Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears. When the trigger is released,
the aiming dot turns off. Pulling the trigger twice quickly turns on the standard laser scanning beam for a full
decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the Decode Session Timeout occurs, a decode
occurs, or the trigger is released.
•
Presentation (Blink) (DS3508-SR/HD/DP only) - The digital scanner activates decode processing when it
detects a bar code in its field of view. After a period of non-use, the digital scanner enters a low power mode
in which the LEDs turn off until the digital scanner senses motion.
•
Auto Aim (DS3508-SR/HD/DP only) - The digital scanner’s aiming pattern is consistently on when in auto aim
mode. A trigger pull activates decode processing. After 2 seconds of inactivity the aiming pattern shuts off.
