4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Scanning Modes
The scanner supports three operational modes:
- Key Trigger Mode: Press the trigger button to activate the scan beam and read a barcode. Release the button to stop scanning.
- Auto-Induction Mode: The scanner automatically detects a barcode placed within its scanning range and activates the beam to read it without requiring a trigger press.
- Continuous Mode: The scan beam remains continuously active, allowing for rapid, successive scanning of multiple barcodes without repeatedly pressing the trigger.
4.2 Scanning Barcodes
To scan a barcode:
- Ensure the scanner is properly connected to your computer.
- Open a text editor, spreadsheet, or POS application where you want the scanned data to appear.
- Point the scanner's window at the barcode you wish to scan.
- Activate the scan beam according to your selected scanning mode (press trigger, or allow auto-induction/continuous mode to activate).
- A successful scan will typically be indicated by an audible beep and/or a visual confirmation (e.g., LED indicator). The barcode data will then appear in your active application.
