8500 Scanner
Number of Host Transmission Buffers
Specifies the number of host transmission(s) that may be buffered. By
buffering data from a bar code, the scanner can continue to read a new bar
code while the old one is being transmitted to the host. Selecting BUFF-
ERS = 1 means that the first bar code must be transmitted before a new
one can be read. A selection of BUFFERS = 2 means that a new bar code
can be read while data from the first bar code is transmitted. When the
feature, Good Read Beep Control, is enabled, the scanner will beep when
the data is placed in a transmission buffer.
When a DISABLE SCANNER command is received from the host, the
scanner will continue to transmit all data that is buffered.
To select the Number of Host Transmission Buffers:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan bar code below representing the desired setting. You’ll need
to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to
ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to
scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
NUMBER OF HOST TRANSMISSION BUFFERS = 1
NUMBER OF HOST TRANSMISSION BUFFERS = 2
