Chapter 3: System Settings
Introduction
Scan the programming barcodes to configure the scanner.
Manual Introduction
Manual scanning mode:
1. Press and hold the trigger button; the red light activates.
2. Position the center of the codes under the light, and move the scanner between the codes to find
the best scanning distance.
3. Decoding (reading) is complete when you hear the buzzer sound and the red light turns off. Codes
are transmitted to the host.
Note：A higher scanning success rate occurs when scanning the same series of codes at the same
distance (reading distance).
Return to Factory Default
All modules have “return to factory default” programming codes. Scan the following barcode to do so.
Factory Default
This is useful when:
1. the scanner is not properly configured and fails to read barcodes;
2. it's necessary to change the configuration for a different application or purpose.
3. functions that are rarely used have been enabled temporarily.

Scanning Mode
Trigger mode
(Default setting) Pulling the trigger begins the decode (reading) function. The decode function continues
until the barcode is decoded, the trigger is released or the decode session expires.
Trigger Mode*
Continuous Mode
The red light of the scanner remains on, allowing it to automatically read barcodes.
Auto Continuous Mode
Command Trigger Mode
The scanner reads a code when the host device sends a command.
Command Trigger Mode
Auto-induction Mode
The scanner senses when a code is placed in front of it and scans it.
Auto-induction Mode
Inverse color
This function reads barcodes that have black boxes around them.
Off (Default)*
Inverse On
