Trigger Modes

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger
command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger
mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which
follows).
* Manual/Serial Trigger
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager's trigger when
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger
mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read
Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save . Default =
300,000.
Read Time-Out
Manual Trigger, Low Power
Note: Does not apply to the 4600r.
The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled,
the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set
with the Low Power Time-Out bar code below. There is a delay of up to one
second in operation when the imager is first triggered, but there is no delay when
operating in low power time-out mode.
