3.2 Continuous Mode
In Continuous Mode MT8200S scans barcode continuously without the need of pressing trigger
button. After a successful decode, MT8200S waits for a period of time (configurable) before the next
scan starts. A press to the trigger button will prompt MT8200S to stop scanning; another press will
prompt MT8200S to start scanning again.
Continuous Mode
Scan Period
In Continuous Mode MT8200S first enters Scan Period, during which MT8200S will try capturing
any barcode within focus. Scan Period terminates when a barcode is successfully decoded or this
pre-set period of time has elapsed. Afterwards MT8200S enters Scan Interval, during which MT8200S
stops scanning. Scan Period is configurable from 0.1 to 25.5 seconds (unit = 0.1 sec); when set to 0
second, it means Scan Period is infinite. By default Scan Period is 5 seconds.
1000ms 3000ms
*5000ms 0 (Infinite)

3.3 Auto-sensing Mode
In Auto-sensing Mode MT8200S starts detecting any image change within its range. When image
change occurs, MT8200S will start scanning (Scan Period) after Image Stabilization Period
terminates. After a barcode is successfully decoded or the Scan Period terminates, MT8200S enters
Scan Interval and detection state respectively. Pressing the trigger button will prompt MT8200S to start
scanning immediately. After the trigger button is released or a barcode has been successfully decoded
MT8200S will switch back to detection state.
Auto-sensing Mode
Scan Period
Scan Period is a period of time during which MT8200S tries capturing any barcode within range.
Scan Period terminates when a barcode is successfully decoded or this pre-set period of time has
elapsed. Afterwards MT8200S enters Scan Interval, during which MT8200S stops scanning and detects
image change only. Scan Period is configurable from 0.1 to 25.5 seconds (unit = 0.1 sec); when set to 0
second, it means Scan Period is infinite. By default Scan Period is 5 seconds.
