6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Scanning Modes

The TEEMI T26 supports three scanning modes:

• Automatic Scanning Mode: The scanner automatically detects barcodes within its field of view and scans them without requiring a trigger press. This mode is typically activated when the scanner is placed in its intelligent stand.
• Continuous Scanning Mode: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam, scanning any barcode that passes through its field of view. This mode is useful for high-volume scanning.

6.2 Scanning Barcodes

The T26 can read various types of barcodes on different media, including printed labels and digital screens.

• 1D Barcodes: UPC/EAN, Code 128, Code 39, etc.
• 2D Barcodes: QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec Code, etc.
• Digital Codes: Scan barcodes directly from mobile phone displays, including digital coupon codes.
• Special Codes: Supports scanning of driver's licenses and IMB (Intelligent Mail Barcode).
