Option 2: Trigger Release to Scan
When you pull the trigger, the aiming dot will appear. The aiming dot remains present while
the trigger is pulled or until a 60 second timeout occurs. When the trigger is released, the
aiming dot turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser
stays on until a decode occurs or until the user-selectable laser-on timeout occurs. If the
trigger is pulled again while in a decode session, the scanner returns to its aiming mode.

Aim Duration

When the scanner is in Trigger Pull to Scan mode (default mode), Aim Duration sets the
amount of time the aiming dot is seen before turning into a scanning beam. This parameter
has no affect when the scanner is in the Trigger Release to Scan mode.
The Aim Duration is programmable in 0.1 second increments, from 0 to 9.9 seconds. If set
to 0, no aiming pattern appears before a decode session. The default value is 0.8 seconds.
To set an aim duration, scan the barcode below. Then, scan two numeric barcodes,
beginning on page 5-104, that correspond to the desired aim duration. Durations less than
1.0 second must have a leading zero. For example, to set an aim duration of 0.5 seconds,
scan the barcode below, followed by the '0' and the '5' barcodes. If you make an error or
wish to change your selection, scan the CANCEL barcode on page 5-106.
