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 on | Trigger off | |
---|---|---|
Normal decode | Press scan button | Release scan button |
Press decode | Press scan button | Press and release scan button again |
Release decode | Press and release scan button | Press and release scan button again |
If you just press (not release) the scan button in release decode 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.
