SCANNER OPERATION
Presentation and Trigger Modes
The MS1690 has four configurable modes for scanning: the presentation mode,
the multi-try trigger Mode, the continuous trigger mode and the single-trigger
mode. These modes can be configured separately for in-stand and out-of-stand
scanner operation.

SCANNER OPERATION
Omnidirectional and/or Linear Scanner Modes
The MS1690 can be configured to operate as an omnidirectional scanner, or a
linear scanner, or a combination of both. The scanner can be configured to
these modes separately for trigger and presentation operations.
When configured to operate as an omnidirectional scanner, all 1D and 2D
barcodes are scanned omnidirectionally (except Code 128 scanner configuration
labels, which have to be linearly aligned for successful scanning).
When configured to operate as a linear scanner, the 1D barcodes have to be
linearly aligned for successful scanning while the 2D barcodes cannot be
scanned.
When configured to operate as both the linear and omnidirectional scanner, the
1D barcodes have to be linearly aligned for successful scanning while the 2D
barcodes are scanned omnidirectionally.
By default, the scanner is configured to omnidirectional scanning for trigger and
presentation operations.
