Operational Mode
Default: Decode Mode
In Decode Mode (the default mode), and upon a Scan button event, the imager attempts to locate and decode enabled bar
codes within its field of view.
The decoder remains in this mode as long as the Scan button is pressed or until a bar code is decoded.
Use Snapshot mode to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. While in this mode the decoder blinks the
green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.
In Snapshot Mode, the decoder turns on the laser aiming pattern to highlight the area to be captured in the image. The
next trigger event instructs the decoder to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may pass
(less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is activated and the image is captured as the decoder adjusts to the lighting
conditions.
Hold the imager steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep. If a trigger event is not activated within the
Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the decoder returns to Decode Mode.
Use Snapshot Mode Timeout (not supported in this version) to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30
seconds.
To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern (not supported in this version).
Use Video View Finder (not supported in this version) to enable Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode. In this mode the decoder
behaves as a video camera until the trigger is active, at which time a Snapshot is performed as described above.
In Video mode the decoder behaves as a video camera as long as the trigger is active. When the trigger is released the
imager returns to Decode Mode.
A Decode Mode bar code is not available. The default is as follows -- in other modes, when the scan button press or trigger
is released the imager returns to Decode Mode.
