Operating Instructions

Scanning Modes

The NT-1228BC offers three distinct scanning modes:

• Key Trigger Mode: The scanning light activates only when the trigger button is pressed.
• Continuous Scan Mode: The scanning light remains constantly on when the scanner is powered, allowing for continuous scanning without pressing the button.
• Auto-induction Mode: The scanning light remains off until a barcode is presented in front of the scanner. It automatically turns on to read the barcode upon detection.

To switch between these modes, scan the corresponding setting barcodes found in your physical user manual.

Upload Modes

Choose between two data upload methods:

• Instant Upload Mode: Barcodes are read and immediately uploaded to the active file or application on your connected device.
• Storage Mode: All scanned barcodes are stored in the scanner's built-in memory. This mode is useful when out of range of your connected device. Data can be uploaded in batch later. The scanner supports storage of up to 100,000 barcodes.

Refer to your physical manual for barcodes to activate these modes.
