Laser/Input Modes

NOTE
User's Guide
The second input connector on the PowerWedge 10 accepts input from a
magnetic stripe reader. The PowerWedge 10 can read two magnetic stripe
tracks simultaneously, and it supports the California driver's license mag-
netic stripe.
The PowerWedge 10 can operate in any of the following laser/input
modes:

Normal Mode

Bar codes for setting laser/input modes are on page 78.
In normal mode, the PowerWedge 10 accepts bar code or magnetic stripe
input from all supported types of input devices except serial devices. This
is the default setting for the PowerWedge 10's laser/input modes.

Autoscan Mode

Use this mode for stand-mounted lasers. This mode returns the laser to
the ready-to-read state immediately after each read.

Multiscan Mode

This mode allows you to scan bar codes without pressing and releasing the
trigger for each read. In this mode, the laser or CCD remains in the ready-
to-read state for as long as the trigger is held down.

Symbol Blinking Mode

Use this mode for automatic scanning with a Symbol laser mounted on
the Symbol IntelliStand.
