Chapter 6 Magic Key
The magic key can be used as an auxiliary key for scanning or data transfer. One of the following seven functions can be
assigned to the magic key. It is also possible to select to ignore this function. Using the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D), select the function that best suits your needs.
(1) Scanning code switching function
Toggles the scanner between two types of scanning codes selected in advance using the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D) every time the magic key is pressed.
Codes which were otherwise not enabled for scanning can be scanned in if specified using this function.
Furthermore, pressing the magic key five times within two seconds releases this function and enables reading of codes
other than the two selected types for a short period of time. Pressing the magic key again will reactivate this function.
(2) Data retransfer function
The scanner resends data previously sent each time the magic key is pressed.
Data sent previously will not be resent if it is cleared by turning off the power after a code is scanned.
(3) Specific character transfer function
Sends characters (max. 10 bytes) specified using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) every time the magic
key is pressed.
(4) Scanning active/ready switching function
Toggles between Ready state and Active state every time the magic key is pressed when the trigger switch operation
mode is in continuous reading mode 1 or 2.

from the Active state to the Ready state without completing a scan.
