During hand-held operation, configuration of an NFC/RFID Reader/Writer peripheral device in a predefined mode named 'Mobile Mode with Auto-Collection', enables recognition of a long duration (e.g. 5 second) trigger press (AKA a 'Long Press') as an enabling event prompting a change of scan behavior between single-shot scan operation and continuous scan operation. In other defined Modes of the peripheral device, other predetermined enabling events, such as the presence or absence of a predetermined external power source, prompt the change between single-shot and continuous scan operations. The Long Press and the other intuitive features enable the general user to be able to switch between various modes and to do so without requiring acquisition or use of an additional dedicated scanner with its requisite expense or inconvenience, and without requiring advanced knowledge, special access, or special resources.
