TRIGGER MODE
3.1. MANUAL MODE
3.1.1. KEY HOLDING
Press the button to trigger the reading, release the button to end the reading.
Reading success or reading time over a single reading time will end the reading。
*Manual Mode-Key Holding
3.1.2. SINGLE KEY TRIGGER
Detects the change of the key level (Maintain 30ms, depending on the product) to
start reading, and then detects the change of the key level (Maintain 30ms,
depending on the product) again to end reading. Reading success or reading time
over a single reading time will end the reading.

Manual Mode-Single Key Trigger
3.2. CONTINUOUS MODE
The reading engine performs continuous work. Reading success or reading time over
a single reading time will end the reading. More than the specified time will
automatically trigger the next reading。
Continuous Mode
3.2.1. INTERVAL TIME
The interval time between two readings in continuous mode. Regardless of the last
success or failure to read, more than the specified time will automatically trigger the
next reading.
Default: 500ms, unit: 100ms, range: 0-9900ms
To set an Interval Time, scan the bar code below. Next scan two Numeric Bar Codes
in appendix that correspond to the desired time-out. Single digit values must have a
leading zero. For example, to set a time-out of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below,
then scan the “0” and “5” bar codes. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect
entry, scan Cancel in appendix.

Interval Time (Default: 500ms.)
3.3. AUTOMATIC INDUCTION MODE
In automatic induction mode, the scan engine detects the brightness of the
surroundings. Trigger reading when the brightness changes. Reading success or
reading time over a single reading time will end the reading. Regardless of the last
success or failure to read, re-enter the detection of the surrounding environment
brightness.
Automatic Induction Mode
3.3.1. STABILITY OF INDUCTION TIME
Stability of induction time, Default: 500ms, unit:100ms, range: 0-9900ms
For example:
Set stability of induction time is 200ms
Scan stability of induction time setting code, then scan Numeric Bar Codes 0 and2
Set stability of induction time is 1500ms
Scan stability of induction time setting code, then scan Numeric Bar Codes 1 and 5

3.3.2. SENSITIVITY LEVEL
There are three levels of sensitivity to choose from, Default: 500ms
*High
Middle
Low

3.4. HOST MODE
Through the command to trigger the scan engine to read, also through the command
to trigger the scan engine to end reading. Reading success or reading time over a
single reading time will end the reading.
Host mode
3.5. DURATION IN SCANNING
This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan
attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.50 to 25.5 seconds.
To s et a d urat ion in sca nnin g, scan the bar code below. Next scan three Numeric Bar
Codes in appendix that correspond to the desired-on time. Single digit numbers must
have a leading zero. For example, to set an on time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar
code below, then scan the "0", "0" and "5" bar codes; to set an on time of 10.5
seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the "1", "0" and "5" bar codes. To
change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel in appendix.
Duration in Scanning (Default: 3.0 sec.)

3.6. OUTPUT INTERVAL OF THE SAME CODE
To a v oid rea ding th e sa me b arco de m ult i ple tim es i n c onti nuou s mo de and automatic
induction mode, set the scan engine to allow reading the same barcode after a delay.
Output interval of the same code is to refuse to read the same barcode within the set
length of time.
Default: 500ms, unit:100ms, range: 0-9900ms
To set o u tput interval of the same code, scan the bar code below. Next scan two
Numeric Bar Codes in appendix that correspond to the desired time-out. Single digit
values must have a leading zero. For example, to set a time-out of 0.5 seconds, scan
the bar code below, then scan the “0” and “5” bar codes. To change the selection or
cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel in appendix.
