Continuous Scan Mode - Honeywell MX8 User Manual

Device 3 – Output is enabled when COM1 is enabled on this port.
Note: Since Internal is the default setting for Device 2, a Bluetooth scanner can be paired with the Wedge using EZPair on
Device 1 without disabling the internal scanner.
Device with integrated Symbol scanner
Note: The Scan Mode (Continuous Scan) section is only present if the MX8 is equipped with a Symbol integrated scanner.
Output – When Output is enabled, data is received from the scanner and processed via the wedge but an application can also
open the WDG0: device and write data to it. An example is when a printer is connected to the same COM port as the scanner
via a switch. Data can be written to the WDG device and is redirected to the associated COM port. The application must open
the WDG0: port, not the COMx: port as the Wedge has exclusive rights to the COM port. If Output is not enabled, the WDG0:
port can still be opened, but any attempts to write to that port fail.
Adjust the settings and tap ok to save the changes. The changes take effect immediately.

Continuous Scan Mode

Continuous scan mode is only available if the MX8 is equipped with a Symbol or Honeywell scanner. Continuous scan
mode draws power from the main battery every time a scan read/decode sequence is performed.
Note: Enabling Continuous Scan Mode will ensure the laser is always on and decoding. Do not scan decoder engine
configuration bar codes when Continuous Scan Mode is on. Configuration bar codes do not decode when scanned
while Continuous Mode is On.
Caution: Laser beam is emitted continuously. Do not look or stare into the laser beam.
Set the Timeout between same symbol to a value sufficient to prevent the beeper from continuously beeping when a
symbol is left in the scanner's field of view.
If trigger mode, power mode, or timeout between same symbol parameters are changed using external configuration bar
codes in the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide, the operating system automatically restores the parameters to their
programmed settings upon a suspend/resume or cold boot and/or any change made in the Data Collection settings. The
MX8 will beep twice when a configuration bar code is successfully scanned.
When the scanner is in continuous mode the trigger and scan buttons function as a scanner On/Off switch.
