4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Scanning Modes
The scanner supports three distinct scanning modes to suit different operational needs. To switch between modes, scan the corresponding setup barcode in the user manual.
Figure 6: Three Scanning Modes
- Manual Trigger Mode: Press the trigger to scan each barcode individually. This is the default mode.
- Continuous Scanning Mode: After scanning the "Continuous Scanning Mode" setup barcode, the scanner will continuously emit a scan beam, automatically reading barcodes without needing to press the trigger. Note: This mode consumes more power.
- Auto-Sensing Scanning Mode: After scanning the "Auto-Sensing Scanning Mode" setup barcode, the scanner will automatically detect when a barcode is presented and activate the scan beam. It enters standby when no barcode is detected, saving power.
