Sabre 1555 Features
This section describes the Sabre 1555 features and how they function in the Setup 
mode.
Trigger
The trigger has two main functions:
Activating the currently selected operating mode (e.g., bar code read, tag read)
Navigating from item to item in the Setup mode
Note:  If you are in Setup mode but not in a setup menu, you can go directly to the Exit 
Setup option by pressing and holding the trigger until the Exit option displays on the 
LCD.
Mode Button
The mode button has four main functions:
Activating Quick Mode Select to select an operating mode (bar code read, tag 
read, and other tag options)
Entering and exiting Setup menus
Confirming setup choices in the Setup menus, including toggling between 
deactivate (
ο
) and activate (
) options for some setup commands
Exiting Setup mode
Mode Button + Trigger
The “mode button + trigger” combination is used to enter Setup mode:
Press and hold the mode button, then press and hold the trigger for two seconds to 
enter Setup mode.
Note:  If you hold the trigger a second or two longer after releasing the mode button 
when you enter Setup mode, you will access the Setup menu of the currently selected 
operating mode, for example, you will access  Tag Read settings if the current 
operating mode is Tag Read.
Through the Configuration Inhibit command you can prevent an operator from 
changing the 1555 configuration (see Table 4-38 on page 4-79).
Quick Mode Select
The Sabre 1555 uses a mode select feature so that you can include only the operating 
modes you want to use for your application (this simplifies the operation of switching 
between operating modes).
Note:  Through EasySet you can prevent an operator from entering Quick Mode 
Setup. By inhibiting LCD setup, you can prevent an operator from viewing any menu 
except the Data Buffer and View Firmware Version menus.
