Night Mode Trigger (DS8178-HC Only)
Parameter # 1215 (SSI # F8h 04h BFh)
Enable this to use the trigger to toggle between entering and exiting Night Mode. To toggle, point the scanner away
from a bar code, pull the trigger until the beam goes off, and then continue pulling the trigger for an additional 5
seconds. Note that pulling the trigger an additional 5 seconds after decoding a bar code has no affect.
When entering Night Mode, the pager motor vibrates. When exiting Night Mode, the scanner emits two short
beeps.
Night Mode Toggle
To toggle between entering and exiting Night Mode without using the trigger, scan this bar code. This functions
regardless of the state of the Night Mode Trigger parameter.
When scanning this bar code, the Pager Motor vibrates when entering Night Mode, and the scanner emits 2 short
beeps when exiting Night Mode.
Lamp Mode
Lamp Mode uses the scanner to illuminate the workspace around the scanner by providing continuous illumination
on demand. Lamp Mode is intended to operate while the scanner is docked in the presentation cradle
(CR8178-PC). Lamp Mode may be enabled or disabled (default). Once enabled, Lamp Mode is activated or
deactivated by pressing the page button on the presentation cradle. Lamp Mode may be enabled with the option to
allow bar code scanning, or not.
