:::


:::tip
As advised in the guide, test the device by scanning some barcodes of your own items (not the configuration barcodes included in the Quick Start Guide) and opening a text file of your choice.

:::

### Quick Setting Options


:::tip
If the quick configuration barcodes do not work, you can force the scanning device to Enter Setup Mode with the quick barcode included in the **Quick Start Guide**.

:::

### Scanning Modes

You can select between **3 types of scanning modes**:


1. **Manual:** Reading mode is triggered by pressing the button on the barcode scanner, which turns off after scanning is complete.
2. **Continuous:** **Reading mode remains on, and the device will scan any barcode that gets within** its range.
3. **Sense:** the scanner **automatically reads** when it detects your hand **movement**.


:::info

:::


:::tip
If you do not need the beeping to turn on during scanning, you can turn it off by scanning the **Sound OFF** QR code on the **ScanAvenger Quick Codes** plastic card. You can leave the vibration on to know when each scan is complete.

:::

**Scanner Window Settings**


:::info
In the Turn on/off section of the Quick Start Guide, use the configuration barcodes to adjust the aiming (red) and illumination (white LED) lights to your environment's lighting conditions.

:::

**Power Off (Sleep Timer) Settings**


:::info
In the Sleep Time Settings section of the Quick Start Guide, use the configuration barcodes to select a time interval at which your device enters sleep mode. Alternatively, you can power off your scanning device immediately.
