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).
