Operating Instructions
Scanning Modes
The RD-1200 offers three 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.
- Auto-Sensing Scanning Mode: The scanner automatically detects a barcode in its field of view and scans it without requiring a trigger press. This mode is ideal for hands-free operation when placed in the charging dock.
To switch between modes, scan the corresponding configuration barcodes provided in your Quick Start Guide or the full manual.
