Zebra DS2278 Reference Guide

5 - 32 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Modes of Operation
• Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The digital scanner attempts to transmit every scanned bar code.
• Out of Range Batch Mode - The digital scanner starts storing bar code data when it loses its connection to
a remote device (for example, when a user holding the digital scanner walks out of range). Data transmission
is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the remote device (for example, when a user holding the
digital scanner walks back into range).
• Standard Batch Mode - The digital 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 digital scanner starts storing bar code data when Enter Batch Mode is
scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the digital scanner into the cradle.
• Batch Only Mode - The digital scanner radio is turned off and the digital scanner stores all bar code data.
Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the digital scanner into the cradle.
• Parameter Batch Mode - When Parameter Batch Mode is enabled, the digital scanner stores parameter bar
code data intended for the cradle. When the digital scanner is inserted into a cradle, the batched parameter
data is sent over the cradle contacts, and the mode is disabled. This may be needed when the cradle and/or
digital scanner is configured with its radio turned off.
In all modes, transmissions are halted if the digital scanner is moved out of range. The digital 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.
NOTE Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost.
NOTE If the digital scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until the
digital scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.
NOTE If the digital scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until the
digital scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.
The radio may be turned off as batch data is transmitted over the cradle contacts.
This mode can only be exited by scanning Normal (default) mode.
