4. Operating Modes
The WoneNice barcode scanner supports two primary operating modes: Manual Mode and Auto-Sensing Mode.
4.1 Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you activate the scanning laser by pressing the trigger button. This mode is ideal for precise, on-demand scanning.
4.2 Auto-Sensing Mode
In Auto-Sensing Mode, the scanner's light remains off until a barcode is presented in front of it. Once a barcode is detected, the scanning light automatically turns on to read the barcode. This mode is suitable for hands-free operation, especially when using the stand.
