4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Scanning

Point the scanner's window at the barcode you wish to scan and press the trigger button. A successful scan will typically be indicated by a short beep and/or a green light from the intelligent indicator.

4.2 Operating Modes

• Instant Upload Mode: In this mode, all scanned barcodes are immediately transmitted to the connected device. This is the default mode when connected wirelessly or via USB.
• Storage Mode (Offline): When out of range or not connected to a host device, the scanner can store up to 100,000 barcodes internally. To upload stored data, connect the scanner to your device and initiate the batch upload function (refer to specific configuration barcodes in the full manual for detailed instructions on switching modes and uploading data).

4.3 Hands-Free Scanning with Foldable Stand

The included foldable stand allows for convenient hands-free scanning. Place the scanner securely on the stand. When a barcode is presented within the scanner's field of view, it will automatically detect and scan it.
