Continuous Scan Mode - Honeywell HX2 Reference Manual

Continuous Scan Mode

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner > Barcode Tab
Enabling Continuous Scan Mode will ensure the laser is always on and decoding.
Note: Do not scan decoder engine configuration bar codes in the Ring Scanner / Ring Imager Programming Guide when
Continuous scan mode is on. Configuration bar codes do not decode when scanned while the HX2 is in Continuous
Mode.
Caution: Laser beam is emitted continuously. Do not stare into the laser beam.
Set the Timeout between same symbol to a value sufficient to prevent the beeper from continuously beeping when a symbol is
left in the scanner's field of view.
When the bar code decoder is in continuous mode the scan button functions as an On/Off switch.
The ring decoder red LED will always be off in continuous mode.
The audio beeps and green LED work the same as they do for normal scan mode.
If scan mode, power mode, or timeout between same symbol parameters are changed using external configuration bar codes in
the Ring Scanner Programming Guide, the HX2 operating system automatically restores the parameters to their programmed
settings upon a warm or cold boot and/or any change made in the control panel.
Toggling between continuous and normal scan modes is in effect immediately upon pressing the OK button in this control
panel, a warm boot is not required or necessary.
