Operation Mode
area-imaging fixed mount scanner
The details of each operation mode supported by FA470 area-imaging fixed
mount scanner are listed below.
Trigger Mode
Under trigger mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to read barcode
when it receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON command. Once the
external trigger has been released, or the scanner gets a good read or a
serial trigger OFF command, the scanner will stop reading and wait for the
next trigger to activate scanning again.
Alternative Mode
When the scanner receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON
command under alternative mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to
read barcodes until the preset scan input time-out is up. The scan input
time-out will be reset after each good read. Once the light source goes off,
the scanner is waiting for the next trigger to activate scanning again.
Level Mode
When the scanner receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON
command under level mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to read
barcodes until a good read is performed or the preset scan input time-out
is up. Once the light source goes off, the scanner is waiting for the next
trigger to activate scanning again
Presentation Mode
When presentation mode is selected, the scanner is preset to turn on the
background lighting to detect the bar codes. Once the scanner detects an
image similar to a bar code in the scanner field of view, it will turn on the light
source to scan until the preset scan input time-out is up. You may adjust
the setting of “Presentation Sensitivity” to increase the detection sensitivity.
Force Mode
Under force mode, the scanner continues to read barcodes without using
external trigger or serial trigger. Please note that the scanner will not stop
reading until you switch to another operation mode.
