The scanner cannot be set to barcode scan mode without pressing a button.

The MS-5145 is a handheld laser barcode scanner equipped with the latest technology. The user simply points to the barcode and the data is not transferred until the button is pressed. The operation is facilitated by a pulsating scanning beam that stabilizes as soon as the sensor registers the bar code, thereby indicating to the user that he is ready to scan. This intelligent scanning method is suitable for all barcode scanning applications, including reliable selection of individual ones items from the barcode list, document processing, and asset inventory.
