Chapter 2
Overview of Scanner
Operating
Modes
2–2
The scanner functions in one of two operating modes:
Hand-Held Mode or Autosense Mode.
Hand-Held Mode
In hand-held mode, you hold the scanner in your
hand and press the trigger every time you want to
scan a bar code symbol.
Chapter 3 provides details on using the scanner in
hand-held mode.
Autosense Mode
In this mode the scanner operates in an optional
Autostand (Catalog No. 2755-NS2) for hands-free
operation. The scanner uses a low level laser beam as
an internal object sensor.
When the scanner is placed in the stand it becomes
immediately active for reading any bar code label
presented to it. The scanner is triggered when a bar
code label breaks the scan beam path (between the
reflector on the stand and the scanner).
You also have the option of removing the scanner
from the stand and using it as a conventional
hand-held scanner. The low level beam will not
interfere with hand-held use of the scanner.
When replaced in the stand the scanner reverts
automatically to the Autosense mode.
Note: Autosense mode can also be set up using a
PHOTOSWITCH
reflector. See Accessories.
