3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Scanning Barcodes

Point the scanner's lens at the barcode you wish to scan. Ensure the entire barcode is within the scanning beam. Press the trigger button to activate the scan. A successful scan will be indicated by a beep and/or a green light. The decoded data will be transmitted to your connected device.

3.2 Trigger Modes

The NETUM E900 supports two primary trigger modes to suit different scanning needs:

• Manual Trigger Mode: The scanner will only activate the scan beam when the trigger button is pressed. This is ideal for precise, on-demand scanning.
• Continuous Scanning Mode: The scanner's beam remains active, automatically scanning any barcode that enters its field of view without requiring a trigger press. This mode is suitable for high-volume scanning environments.

Refer to the included manual for specific configuration barcodes to switch between these modes.
