34 Configure Your Operation Control Operation Mode Setting Family Code Selection P.C Parameter Selection Option Code Operation Mode Low Power mode (Low Power triggering) Trigger mode/serial mode (External triggering) Presentation mode (Auto detection) Alternative mode (Periodic power off) Flash mode (Pulse driven reading) Force mode (Continued power on) Toggle mode (Repeat reading) Diagnostic mode (Test reading) Lower Power Mode (Low Power Triggering) The scanner goes into idle state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger to wake up the scanner for operation. It is very helpful for mobile data collection and application, which are concerned with power savings. Trigger Mode/Serial Mode (External Triggering) The scanner goes into standby state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger to turn on the light source of the scanner before scanning the bar code. Presentation Mode (Auto Detection) Presentation mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for ambient conditions until a change occurs in the imager s field of view. Then the LEDS turn on automatically to read the bar code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly. Alternative Mode (Periodic Power Off) The scanner keeps the light source of the scanner turned on and disables the infrared sensor till the pre-defined auto power off duration is up. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on the light source again. After each good read, the auto power off timer counter is reset. You do not have to press the trigger frequently, it is very convenient for multiple scanning. Flash Mode (Pulse Driven Reading) The scanner flashes the light source of the scanner without using the trigger. If the scanner detects an image which is similar to a bar code, the scanner forces on the light source automatically and scans the bar code. Flash Duty Cycle adjustment can change the frequency of the blinking. Force Mode (Continued Power On) The light source of the scanner is forced on for continued operation without pressing the trigger switch. This mode is convenient for high speed bar code reading. Toggle Mode (Repeat Reading) The toggle mode is very similar to the Alternative Mode without the pre-defined auto power off duration concern. You must press the trigger to turn on the light source of the scanner to scan. The scanner keeps the light source turned on until you press the trigger again. Diagnostic Mode (Test Reading) This operation mode is specifically designed for diagnostic purposes. When this operation mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is force on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay, redundancy, and so forth

The Flash Duty Cycle is designed to control the flashing frequency of the light source. The Redundancy is the number of times the same bar code label has to be decoded before it is transmitted. The Reread Delay is designed to inhibit from reading the same bar code label twice in pre-defined short duration. Force Verification will not allow reading of the same bar code twice. This Good Read Delay is the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another bar code

37 Configure Your Operation Control Time-out Setting, Good Read Beep Duration Family Code Selection P.C Parameter Selection Option Code Auto Power Off Duration Short Medium Long Extremely long Hands Free Time-out Short Medium Long Extremely long Good Read Beep Duration Short Medium Long Extremely long The Auto Power Off Duration is a pre-defined power off time out counter for Alternative Mode, Presentation Mode and Flash Mode. The scanner keeps the light source of the scanner turned on and disable the infrared sensor till the pre-defined auto power off duration is up. You can adjust this parameter to meet your own application requirement. The Presentation Modes, Force Mode and Flash Mode are referred to as hands free modes. If the imager s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time for imager to remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is up (if there have been no further trigger pulls), the imager reverts to the original hands free mode. The Good Read Beep Duration is a pre-defined duration of the beep which the imager emits on a good read (only available for Trigger Mode).
