In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of barcodes) the digital scanner can store as follows:
Number of storable barcodes = 30,720 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the barcode + 3).
Modes of Operation
Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The digital scanner attempts to transmit every scanned
barcode.
Out of Range Batch Mode - The digital scanner starts storing barcode data when it loses its
connection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the digital scanner walks out of
range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the remote device (for
example, when a user holding the digital scanner walks back into range).
Standard Batch Mode - The digital scanner starts storing barcode data after Enter Batch Mode is
scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning Send Batch Data.
Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The digital scanner starts storing barcode data when Enter Batch
Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the digital scanner into the cradle.
Cable Batch Mode - Use scanner with a battery to store data to non-volatile memory. Data will be
sent out when the scanner is connected to the PC via USB cable.
In all modes, transmissions are halted if the digital scanner is moved out of range. The digital scanner
resumes when it is back in range. If a barcode is scanned while batch data is transmitted it is appended to
the end of the batched data; parameter barcodes are not stored.
note If the batch mode selection is changed while there is batched data, the new batch mode takes
effect only after all the previously batched data is sent
.
note Do not use Out of Range Batch Mode together with the
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Auto-Reconnect Feature on page 9-64. Decode data scanned will be
batched and will not cause the scanner to reconnect.
note Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost.
note If the digital scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until
the digital scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.
note FIPS mode must be disabled and persistent batch mode must be enabled for the feature
to work.
