1. A method for changing the configuration of a device for reading machine-readable code, the method comprising:

  • monitoring for a strike against a surface of the device, the strike caused by a user either striking the device against a non-device surface or striking the surface of the device with a touch or tap input without engaging a button, a capacitive surface, or a resistive surface of the device;

    detecting the strike comprising a detected strike;

    determining an identifying characteristic of the detected strike;

    determining if the detected strike having the identifying characteristic correlates to a particular scan-related operation of the device; and

    in response to determining that the detected strike having the identifying characteristic correlates to a particular scan-related operation, executing the particular scan-related operation correlating to the detected strike having the identifying characteristic.
