Low Power Mode (Low Power Triggering)

The scanner goes into idle state after scanning the barcode. You must press the trigger to wake up the

scanner for operation. It is very helpful for mobile data collection and applications, which are concerned with

power saving.

Trigger Mode (External Triggering)

The scanner goes into standby state after scanning the barcode. You must press the trigger to turn on the

light source of the scanner before scanning the bar code.

Presentation Mode (Auto Detection)

Presentation mode uses ambient light to detect the barcodes. The light source is off until the scanner detects

an image which is similar to a barcode. Then the light source turns on automatically to read the bar code. If

the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly. You can choose

different level of “Presentation Sensitivity” to meet your application’s requirements. (Please refer to the

setting of “Presentation Sensitivity” on page 68.)

Alternative

Mode (Periodic Power Off)

The scanner keeps the light source of the scanner turned on till the pre-defined light source on time is up.

After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on the light source again. After

each good read, the timer counter of “Light Source on Time” is reset. For you do not have to press the trigger

frequently it is very convenient for multiple scanning.
