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 barcode, the scanner forces on the light source automatically and scans the barcode.
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 button. This
mode is convenient for high speed bar code reading.
Toggle Mode (Repeat Reading)
The toggle mode is very similar to the Alternative Mode but without the pre-defined light source on time
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.
Level Mode (Auto Power Off)
When this operation mode is selected, the scanner continues to turn on the light source of the scanner before
a good read or pre-defined “Light Source on Time”. If the scanner decodes a barcode successfully, it turns off
the light source immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on
the light source again. If there is no scanning operation performed during the pre-defined light source on time,
the scanner enters the idle state after the pre-defined light source on time is up.
