Scanning 2 - 3
LED Definitions
In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2
defines LED colors that display during scanning.
Scanning
The scanner can operate in two scanning modes: triggered mode and Auto-Scan TM mode. In triggered mode the
trigger button must be pressed to emit the scanner laser in order to a scan bar code. In Auto-Scan TM mode the
scanner laser is in constant on state and no trigger button press is required to scan a bar code.
To toggle between scanning modes, scan Triggered/Auto-Scan TM on page 4-5 .
• If the scanner is in triggered mode, scan Triggered/Auto-Scan TM on page 4-5 to switch to Auto-Scan TM
mode.
• If the scanner is in Auto-Scan TM mode, scan Triggered/Auto-Scan TM on page 4-5 to switch to triggered
mode.

Scanner gives a power-up beep after
scanning a USB Device Type. Communication with the bus must be established before the
scanner can operate at the highest power level.
This power-up beep occurs more than once. The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to
the scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is
normal and usually happens when the host cold boots.
