2.2 - Installation Guide - Batch Interface
The CR2 unit features a batch mode for applications requiring a portable reader. Batch mode
allows a user to store scanned data to the reader’s non-volatile memory. The user may transfer
the data to a host computer when needed. To utilize batch functionality you will need to
purchase the 1300 mA or 1800 mA Lithium Ion battery from a Code representative.
How Batch Mode Works
The CR2 unit will automatically detect when the USB cable is detached or the
Bluetooth® radio is out of range and will switch into batch mode. CR2 units featuring RS-232
interfaces have to be programmed to enter batch mode by scanning a code (see section 4.6).
When the reader is reconnected to your host computer or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in
range and the user scans another code or the specic transfer data code, (Users may also
program a button in section 4.6 to transfer data) the reader will transfer scanned data. Once
transferred, the scanned data is immediately erased from the readers memory.
Batch Mode Feedback
After a successful scan in batch mode the unit will beep once and the battery LED will ash
amber and the memory LED will ash either green, red or amber depending on memory level.
For more information on CR2 feedback see section 2.6.
Note: The CR2 dedicated batch memory is a minimum of 1MB. To determine the number of
reads that may be stored, divide the average bytes of a scan into the total minimum memory.
