Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store barcode data when a scanner is out of range of its
host, or when performing inventory. The scanner may store a number of symbols
(approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range and
then send them to the host when back in range or when the records are manually
transmitted.
Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners with one Access Point.
When a wireless system is being used in "multiple link mode," where up to 6 scanners
are connected to one Access Point, some accumulated or batched scans could be lost
if scanners are constantly moved in and out of range.
Automatic Batch Mode stores barcode data when the scanner is out of range of
the host or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the host or
Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is
full, any barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan barcodes
again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the host or Access Point so
data can be transmitted.
Inventory Batch Mode stores barcode data, whether or not you are in range of the
host or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the host or Access Point, scan
Transmit Inventory Records (page 63). When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any
barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan barcodes again, the
data must be transmitted to the host or Access Point. Once the data is transmitted,
it is cleared in the scanner.
Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the
data is transmitted to the host or Access Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you
want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear
the scanner’s buffer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 63).
