4. Operation Modes
4.1. Scanning Modes
The scanner supports three operational scanning modes:
- Manual Trigger Mode: Press the trigger button to scan each barcode.
- Continuous Scanning Mode: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam, reading barcodes as they pass through the field of view without needing to press the trigger.
- Auto-Sensing Scanning Mode: The scanner activates the scan beam automatically when a barcode is detected in its field of view.
To switch between these modes, scan the corresponding setting barcodes found in the complete user manual.
4.2. Data Upload Modes
The scanner offers two methods for uploading scanned data:
- Instant Upload Mode: Barcodes are transmitted directly to your connected device as soon as they are scanned.
- Storage Mode: Scanned barcodes are stored in the scanner's internal memory (up to 10,000 barcodes). Data can be uploaded to your device later when needed.
To activate Storage Mode or upload stored data, scan the appropriate setting barcodes from the complete user manual.
