Operation
Modes of Operation
The MS4980 supports two standard modes of operation for scanning bar codes,
automatic activation and manual activation scanning. Scanning while in the
automatic activation mode can occur in either one of two configurable options,
pass-through
or presentation. Both the pass-through and the presentation
options are enabled by default.
With the default configuration, the scanner
operates in the pass-through state for 300 ms and then changes to the
presentation state for additional decoding capability.
Automatic Activation Mode
Pass-through Scanning
- Decodes ONLY 1D and PDF bar codes
Scanning Method:
1. Pass the bar code through the active scan area to scan, decode and
send data
Presentation Scanning - Decodes ALL 1D, PDF and 2D matrix codes
Scanning Method:
1. Place the object in the IR activation range
2. Hold the object’s bar code in front of the scan window within the active
scan area to scan, decode and send data
The MS4980 requires a stand-alone 5V power supply for pass-through capabilities to
function.
Default configuration recommended for optimum scan performance.
