Number of Host Transmission Buffers
Specifies the number of host transmission(s) that may be buffered. By
buffering data from a barcode, the scanner can continue to read a new bar-
code while the old one is being transmitted to the host. S
electing BUF-
FERS = 1 means that the first barcode must be transmitted before a new
one c
an be read. A selection of BUFFERS = 2 means that a new barcode
can be read while data from the first barcode is transmitted. When the fea-
ture, 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 barcode.
2. Scan barcode below representing the desired setting. You’ll need
to co
ver any unused barcodes on this and the facing page to
ensure that the scanner reads only the barcode you intend to scan.
3. Complete the programming seque
nce by scanning the SWITCH
barcode.
