Scanner Maintenance
The scanner is designed for long-term trouble-free operation and rarely
requires any maintenance. Only an occasional cleaning of the scanner window
is necessary in order to remove dirt and fingerprints.
Wipe the scan window with a soft lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to
avoid the scan window from being scratched and damaged. The scan window
can be cleaned while the scanner is running.
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with a 10-pin modular
connector. When the connector is properly seated, it is secured in the scanner
by a flexible retention tab. The cable is designed to be field replaceable.
Replacement cables can be obtained from your authorized distributor. To
replace the cable, take the following steps.
1. Make sure the power of both the host terminal and the scanner is powered
off.
2. Disconnect the old scanner cable from the host terminal.
3. Press down the retention tab, and gently pull out the cable.
4. Insert the new interface cable into the bottom of the scanner until it clicks.
Then, plug the new cable into the host.

Trigger Mode
Standard (Level): A trigger press activates decode processing. Decode
processing continues until the bar code decodes, or you release the
trigger.
Presentation (Blink): The engine activates decode processing when it
detects a bar code in its field of view. After a period of non-use, the
LEDs turn off until the engine senses motion.
Host: A host command issues the decode signal. The decoder interprets
an actual trigger pull as a Level triggering option.
Auto Aim: The decoder projects the aiming pattern when the decoder
senses motion. A trigger press activates decode processing. After a
period of inactivity the aiming pattern shuts off.
Auto Aim with Illumination: The decoder projects the aiming pattern
and internal illumination LEDs when the decoder senses motion. A
trigger pull activates decode processing. After 2 seconds of inactivity the
aiming pattern and internal illumination LEDs automatically shut off.
