Manual No. 25-ULNFT2100-01; Mar, 2005 NFT 2100 CCD Fixed Mount Barcode Scanner Measuring Scanner Performance A method for properly positioning the unit is to program the scanner for Trigger Disable (S7) and Continuous Read (S2) modes. The scanner will now be always on and will continuously read the same bar code. Since the buzzer sounds each time the bar code is read, the sound of the buzzer can be used like a “Geiger counter”. As the position of the scanner
