Chapter 6 Magic Key Control

The magic key can act as an auxiliary key for scanning or data transfer. You can assign any of the following five
functions or no function at all to the magic key. Select the function that best meets your needs using the bar-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting).
(1) Illumination switching function
Pressing the magic key alternately turns the illumination LED on and off. Note, however, that turning on the LED
does not make the scanner ready to scan. That requires pressing the trigger switch.
The scanner automatically turns off the illumination LED after approximately 3 minutes without detecting completion
of a scanning operation.
The scanner ignores magic key input if the trigger switch operating mode is continuous read or auto sensing mode.
The illumination
LED comes on.
(2) Data retransfer function
Pressing the magic key resends the preceding data. Note, however, that the scanner ignores such requests if there is no
such data available--that is, you have turned off the power since the last read operation.
(3) Specific character transfer function
Pressing the magic key transfers a character string (max. 10 bytes) specified with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting).
(4) Ready/standby switching function
When the trigger switch is in the continuous reading mode, pressing the magic key switches the scanner between
ready-to-scan (illumination LED ON) and standby (illumination LED OFF).
(5) Auto sensing mode switching function
Pressing the magic key toggles between the auto sensing mode and the currently selected trigger switch operating
mode.
(6) Continuous reading mode switching function
Pressing the magic key toggles between the continuous reading mode and the currently selected trigger switch
operating mode.
(7) No function (Disable)
If no function has been assigned to the magic key, pressing the key produces no operation.
Press the magic key.
