Operation
Modes of Operation
The MS7580 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.
Automatic Activation Mode
With the default configuration, the imager
operates in the pass-through state for 300 ms and then changes to the
presentation state for additional decoding capability.
Pass-through Scanning
Scanning method:
–The imager decodes only 1D and PDF bar codes.
1. Pass the bar code through the active scan area to scan, decode and
send data.
Presentation Scanning–The imager 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.
Manual Activation
The imager decodes all 1D, PDF and 2D matrix codes.
Scanning method:
1. Press the button one time to activate linear targeting.
2. Press the button one time to activate linear targeting.
The MS7580 requires 12V power for pass-through capabilities to function.
The default configuration is recommended for optimum scan performance.
Imager configuration bar codes require the manual activation mode.
