CONTINUOUS SCANNING
NON-REFLECTIVE SURFACES ACCEPTED, "BLINK" MODE
Recommended Usage:
Recommended to be especially useful when there are non-reflective
or colored scanning surfaces, or when bar code tags are small in size.
Note that with this mode, any other bar code input devices that are
connected to the decoder box will NOT operate.
Operation Description:
The laser will pulse on and off approximately two times a second. It will
stop pulsing and scan continuously whenever it is brought within 5
inches of a bar code, and it will immediately read one bar code after
another. When the laser is not exposed to any bar codes, it will
continue to scan for the number of seconds specified in the LASER/
CCD TIMEOUT option (the default is 1 second) before it resumes
pulsing the beam on and off.
RE-READS: Accepts a re-read after the amount of time specified
in the CONTINUOUS RUN READ DELAY option (the
default is 1 second) has passed.
Settings:
The following settings apply to this mode of operation:
Laser/CCD Timeout 1-9 sec
Laser/CCD Trigger Shutoff OFF
Laser/CCD Continuous Run ON
Continuous Run Read Delay 0.1-9.9 sec
For optimum "hands-free" performance, set the LASER/CCD
TIMEOUT option at 3-4 seconds.
