scanner timeout and stops capturing images after approx 30 seconds

[nitinss17]

Hello, first off this is an amazing repo.

problem statement:
i have a ds3608 scanner with image scanning abilities i am using your code to capture image and it does work fine, but only if i continually pull the handle trigger. if i keep the scanner in standby mode for lets say 30sec, it makes a sound and then no matter how many times i pull hard trigger it just doesnt respond, i need to unplug and replug the usb for it to work again. Am i doing something wrong? please check my code below, i just want image scanning ability i do not want barcode so i commented barcode code

i am saving image as a unique file on every hard trigger and setting it back to image mode

please check what the issue is
appreciate your response
