OPERATIVE MODE
MODE SELECTION
This feature allows the PowerScan™ PM8300-DK to operate in one of two
basic operative modes:
• SDIM (Simple Data Input Mode
) — data entered, either on the keypad or
read via barcode, is transmitted the host once the enter key is pressed,
following the formatting rules described in the previous paragraph.
• QTY/CODE (Quantity/Code Mode) — Refer to the next section, QTY/
CODE MODE PARAMETERS.
Mode Selection = Simple data input mode
Mode Selection = Quantity / Code mode
QTY/CODE MODE
When the scanner is in Quantity-Code Mode, the operator is prompted with
two data fields named QTY= and CODE= . The normal position of the cursor
is in the QTY field; the operator is required to type the quantity on the key-
pad, then press the "enter ke
y" to move the cursor to the CODE field. Data in
the CODE field can either be entered manually from the keypad or read
through the scanner.
The pair quantity and code are the
n transmitted to the host in a single string
with configurable header, terminators and separator. Use the commands in
the following sections to define the configuration parameters.
