Quick Reference Guide 9 Continuous The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. In this mode, the scanner can be configured to scan and transmit a bar code and then not decode the same bar code for a set period of time (Time Between Same Bar Code) and not decode ANY bar code for a period of time (Time Between Different Bar Codes). This allows the user to tailor the application to the rate at which bar codes are presented. Refer to the Symbol MiniScan In
