Device Control
Device Control is accessible from the Utilities menu.
Device Control by Serial Command
Enable Laser Scanning
Sending <H> will turn the laser on continuously.
Note: Enable Laser Scanning does not relate to Laser On/Off command.
Disable Laser Scanning
Sending <I> will turn the laser off and end the current read cycle. This feature is useful
during extended periods of time when no symbols are being scanned or the scanner is
being configured. Disabling laser scanning will not affect any downloaded commands to
the scanner.
Note: Disable Laser Scanning does not relate to Laser On/Off, which, when enabled,
also turns off the laser but only between read cycles.
Motor On
Sending <KE> turns the spinning mirror and raster mirror motors on (if not already running).
Note: The spinning mirror reaches full speed after a short time delay.
Motor Off
Sending <KF> turns the spinning mirror motor off. This command is useful for long idle
periods.
Note: Laser turns off whenever motor is off.
