5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Scanning a Barcode

- Scan: Press and hold the trigger button. The laser will activate.
- Confirmation: Upon a successful scan, the scanner will emit a beep sound and/or the indicator light will flash. The barcode data will then be transmitted to your computer as if typed via a keyboard.

The scanner supports two primary operating modes:
- Manual Trigger Mode: This is the default mode. Press the trigger button to initiate each scan. Release the button after a successful scan.
- Auto-Continuous Scan Mode: In this mode, the scanner continuously emits a laser beam, scanning barcodes automatically when they are presented within its field of view, without needing to press the trigger for each scan.
