Description of Single scan mode setting

Single scan mode setting controls the way of on/off the scan trigger. Look at the comparison table below.


Trigger onTrigger off
One Shot decodingPress scan buttonRelease scan button
Press decodingPress scan buttonPress and release scan button again
Release decodingPress and release scan buttonPress and release scan button again


If you just press (not release) the scan button in release decoding mode, only the aimer is turned on. 

In this state, the scanner cannot decode the barcode even if you aim the barcode properly.

But, it is useful when you have to target an exact barcode you want to decode among the barcode book.


Touch Scan

The TouchScan (Scan button on the screen) behaves the same as hardware scan button, but when the TouchScan moves, trigger turns off.
