The buzzer of the scanner beeps differently to indicate various operating 
conditions. 
•  Power On Beep: The scanner will issue a long beep to indicate a successful 

power on. 

•  Good Read Beep: The system provides four volume levels and four beeping 

tones (frequencies) that the user can select from to signify a good read. The 
available options are: 

Volume: Maximum/Loud/Medium/Minimum 
Frequency: 8 / 4 / 2 / 1 kHz 

•  Error Beep: The scanner will issue a long beep with a low tone to indicate 

errors. 

•  Enter / Exit Configuration Beep: The scanner will issue 6 beeps upon entering 

/ exiting the configuration mode. 

•  Setup Beep: In configuration mode, the scanner will normally beep twice when a 

setup barcode is read. If the particular setup parameter needs more than one read, 
the scanner will only issue a short beep to indicate that there are more setup 
barcodes needed to complete the current parameter setting. 

 

There is a dual color indicator on top of the scanner. Normally it is off, and will 
turn red when there is a good read. The indicator will be blue when the scanner is 
at configuration mode. 

 

There are eight scan modes supported by the scanner. The user can choose the 
desired scan mode depending on the application requirements. But, if the scanner is 
a trigger-less scanner, only continuous mode or testing mode can be selected (other 
scan modes involve trigger switch interaction). The supported scan modes are 
described below. 

•  Auto Off Mode:  The scanner will start scanning once the switch is 

triggered. The scanning continues until either a barcode is read or a preset 
scanning period (Scanner Time-Out Duration) is expired.

•  Continuous Mode: The scanner is always scanning. 
•  Auto Power Off Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is 

triggered. The scanning continues until a preset scanning period (Scanner 
Time-Out Duration) is expired. Unlike the Auto Off mode, the scanner will 
continue to scan and the scanning period is re-counted each time there is a 
successful read. 

•  Alternate Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is 

triggered. The scanner will continue scanning until the switch is triggered 
again. 

•  Momentary Mode: The scanner will be scanning as long as the switch is 

depressed. 

•  Repeat Mode: The scanner is always scanning just like Continuous Mode. 

But now the switch acts like a “re-transmit button”. If the switch is triggered 
within 1 second after a good read, the same data will be transmitted again 
without actually reading the barcode. This “re-transmit button” can be 
triggered as many times as user desired, as long as the time between each 
triggering does not exceed 1 second. This scan mode is most useful when 
the same barcode is to be read many times. 

•  Laser Mode: This scan mode is used on laser scanners. The scanner will 

scan once when the trigger is pressed. The scanning continues until a 
barcode is read, the trigger is released or a preset scanning period (Scanner 
Time-Out Duration) is expired. 

•  Test Mode: The scanner is always scanning. The scanner will decode 

repeatedly even with the same barcode. 

By default, the scan mode is Auto Off mode for scanners with trigger switch, and is 
Continuous mode for switch-less scanners. 

 

Auto-Sense is for 1166 only and used in conjunction with the auto-sense stand. It 
will enable the scanner to start scanning once a barcode is brought within Range of 
the scanner. This will activate the LEDs and the scanner will start decoding the 
barcode. The auto-sense mode works only under Auto Off mode or Laser mode 
only.
