Parts of the Scanner
Scanning Modes
The scanner can operate in two modes:
• Trigger Single Mode - trigger button must be pressed to
emit the laser in order to a scan barcode.
or
• Stand Mode - scanner laser is in constant on state and no
trigger button press is required to scan a barcode.
To toggle between modes, scan the “Toggle Scan Mode” barcode
below.
Depending upon which mode the scanner currently is in, scan the
“Toggle Scan Mode” to switch from Trigger Single to Stand, or
from Stand to Trigger Single Mode.
While in the Stand mode of operation, if the scanner has not been
used for several minutes it will shift to low power operation, sig-
nalled by a narrowing of the scanning beam. When in low power
mode, the scanner will respond to a barcode and come back to nor-
mal Stand Mode operation upon seeing/reading the label.
If the scanner has been idle for an extended configurable period1,
it will timeout, then enter sleep mode with the scanning beam
turned off. To wake the scanner from sleep mode, press the trigger
button.

Stand Mode Timeout Period
The Timeout Period for the transition from low power to sleep
mode can be set to one of the following durations:
•1Hour
•5Hours(default)
• Infinite Timeout — With this setting, there is no timeout,
thus the scanner will never go into sleep mode or beam
shut-off but will remain in low power mode until a label is
read.
Stand Mode Timeout Period = 1 Hour
Stand Mode Timeout Period = 5 Hours (Default)
Stand Mode Timeout Period = Infinite Timeout

A transmission error was detected in a
scanned barcode. The data is ignored.
This occurs if a unit is not properly con-
figured. Check option setting.

state where power to the scanner is
cycled on and off more than once. This is
normal and usually happens when the
host PC cold boots.

Programming Barcodes Descriptions
This guide includes the programming barcodes required to set up
the scanner to work with various host interfaces. Some frequently
used programming barcodes are also included.
For all programming barcodes, plus detailed information about
the scanner, download the latest version of the Product Reference
Guide (PRG), Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Guide and all
documentation pertaining to the scanner from the website listed
on the back cover of this manual.
The definitions that follow briefly explain the programming bar-
codes.
Set Defaults
Scan Set Defaults to set all parameters to their default values.
Host Interfaces
Keyboard Wedge Interface
To use a Keyboard Wedge interface, scan IBM PC COMPATI-
BLES, then scan the appropriate Country Keyboard Type (coun-
try code).
RS-232 Interface
To use an RS-232 interface, scan an RS-232 host type.
USB Interface
The scanner attaches directly to a USB host, or a powered USB
hub, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required.
When using a USB interface, the scanner auto detects the USB and
defaults to the HID keyboard interface. There are additional USB
hosts listed in the PRG.
NOTE
Cables may vary depending upon
system configuration.
