Batch Mode
Parameter # F1 20h
The linear imager scanner supports three versions of batch mode. When the linear imager scanner is
configured for any of the batch modes, it attempts to store bar code data (not parameter bar codes) until
transmission is initialized, or the maximum number of bar codes are stored. When a bar code is saved
successfully, a good decode beep sounds and the LED flashes green. If the linear imager scanner is unable to
store a new bar code, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds. (See pages 2-1 and 2-5 for all beeper
and LED definitions.)
In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of bar codes) the linear imager scanner can store as
follows:
Number of storable bar codes = 30,720 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the bar code + 3).
Modes of Operation
•
Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The linear imager scanner attempts to transmit every scanned bar
code.
•
Out of Range Batch Mode - The linear imager scanner starts storing bar code data when it loses its
connection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the linear imager scanner walks out of
range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the remote device (for
example, when a user holding the linear imager scanner walks back into range).
•
Standard Batch Mode - The linear imager scanner starts storing bar code data after Enter Batch Mode
is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning Send Batch Data.
•
Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The linear imager scanner starts storing bar code data when Enter Batch
Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the linear imager scanner into the cradle.
In all modes, transmissions are halted if the linear imager scanner is moved out of range. The linear imager
scanner resumes when it is back in range. If a bar code is scanned while batch data is transmitted it is
appended to the end of the batched data; parameter bar codes are not stored.
IMPORTANT Batch mode does not apply to SPP Slave Mode.
NOTE If the batch mode selection is changed while there is batched data, the new batch mode will
take effect only after all the previously batched data is sent
.
NOTE Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost.
NOTE If the linear imager scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until
the linear imager scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.
