Accumulate Mode
Accumulate Mode is an option allowing the RF Terminal to accumulate
multiple bar codes in its buffer, then transmit them to the computer as if
they had been a single bar code. This is useful for entering quantities and
other variable data.
Accumulate Mode works with Code 39, Code 93 and Code 128 only and
can't be used with a check digit. When the RF Terminal reads a bar code
with a space as the first character, it beeps and buffers the data without
transmission. It continues to read and buffer bar codes (up to 40 characters)
until it reads a bar code without a leading space. Once it reads this last bar
code, the entire buffer (including that last code) is transmitted as one long
bar code. A “double-minus” sign (--) bar code clears the buffer. The
ENTER code on this Barpad is a Code 39 Start/Stop Character only.
Accumulate Mode must be turned on using the bar coded Setup Menu or by
using the keypad. Accumulate Mode is located in the Code 39 parameters.
Choose 4 to Enable or 5 to Disable this feature.
This numeric Code 39 "Barpad" illustrates ACCUMULATE Mode. Scan 5,
3, 8, and Enter. The RF Terminal transmits a single message of “538”.
