• Alternate Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is
triggered. The scanner will continue scanning until the switch is triggered
again.
• Momentary Mode: The scanner will scan as long as the switch is
depressed.
• Repeat Mode: The scanner is always scanning just like Continuous Mode.
But now the switch acts like a “re-transmit button”. If the switch is triggered
within 1 second after a good read, the same data will be transmitted again
without actually reading the barcode. This “re-transmit button” can be
triggered as many times as user desired, as long as the time between each
triggering does not exceed 1 second. This scan mode is most useful when the
same barcode is read many times.
• Laser Mode: This is the scan mode most often used on laser scanners. The
scanner will start scanning once the switch is pressed. The scanning
continues until a barcode is read, the switch is released or a preset scanning
period (Scanner Time-Out Duration) is expired.
• Test Mode: The scanner is always scanning. The scanner will decode
repeatedly even with the same barcode.
By default, the scan mode is Auto Off mode for scanners with trigger switch, and is
Continuous mode for switch-less scanners.

)
Auto-Sense is used in conjunction with the auto-sense stand. It will enable the
scanner to start scanning once a barcode is brought within Range of the scanner.
This will activate the LED’s and the scanner will start decoding the barcode. The
auto-sense mode works only under Auto Off mode or Laser mode only.

If the scanner mode is set to Continuous, Auto Power Off, Alternate, or Momentary
mode, the scanner will prevent accidentally reading the same barcode twice by
using a Re-read Delay (Blocking Time). The barcode must be taken away from the
scanning line longer than the Re-read Delay to allow second reading of the same
barcode. The Re-read Delay can be set by the user.

This parameter is used to limit the maximum scanning period when the scan mode
is either Auto Off Mode or Auto Power Off Mode. This time-out duration is
specified in units of second. The default time-out duration is ten seconds.

This parameter is used to specify the levels of reading (decoding) redundancy. If No
Redundancy is selected, only one successful decoding is necessary for a valid read.
If Three
Times Redundancy is selected, it will take 3 successful decodes to make
the reading valid. It is obvious that the more redundancy the user selects, the higher
the reading integrity and thus the slower the reading speed. The user must
compromise between decoding integrity and speed.

Most of the popular barcode symbologies are supported. Each symbology can be
individually enabled or disabled. The scanner will automatically discriminate and
recognize all the symbologies that are enabled. The supported barcode symbologies
are listed below.
• Code 39 (Standard / Full ASCII)
• Italy Pharmacode
• French Pharmacode
• Industrial 25
• Interleave 2 of 5

The scanner can be configured to read negative barcodes. Normally, barcodes are
printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative
barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces
of the negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars.
