Batch Mode

Parameter #
544
 (SSI # F1h 20h)
This parameter enables the scanner to attempt to store barcode data (excluding parameter barcodes) until transmission is initialized or it stores the maximum number of barcodes.
When the scanner saves a barcode successfully, it emits a good decode beep and flashes the green LED. If the scanner is unable to store a new barcode, it emits a low/high/low/high (out of memory) beep. See Wireless Beeper Definitions for all definitions.
In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of barcodes) the scanner can store as follows:
If you change the batch mode while there is batched data, the new batch mode takes effect only after the scanner sends all previously batched data.
  • Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The scanner transmits each barcode when scanned.
  • Out-of-Range Batch Mode - The scanner stores barcode data when it loses connection to a remote device (e.g., when the scanner moves out of range). When the scanner re-establishes connection with the device (e.g., it moves back into range), it transmits the data.
  • Standard Batch Mode - The scanner stores barcode data when you scan Enter Batch Mode. Scan Send Batch Data to transmit the data.
Transmission stops if the scanner loses connection to the remote device.
  • Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The scanner stores barcode data when you scan Enter Batch Mode. Insert the scanner into the cradle to transmit the data.
If you remove the scanner from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission stops until you re-insert the scanner in the cradle.
  • Batch Only Mode - The scanner radio is off, and the scanner stores all barcode data. Insert the scanner into the cradle to transmit the data.
Removing the scanner from the cradle during batch data transfer stops transmission until you re-insert it in the cradle.
The radio may be turned off during batch data transmission.
To exit this mode, scan the
Normal (Do Not Batch Data)
 barcode.
  • Parameter Batch Mode - Use this mode if the cradle and/or scanner is configured with the radio turned off or connected to a non-cradle device. Scan
    Enter Parameter Batch Mode
     to enter this mode. The scanner stores parameter barcode data intended for the cradle. Insert the scanner into the cradle to transmit the batched parameter data. When data transmission is complete, the scanner exits this mode. Alternatively, scan
    Exit Parameter Batch Mode
     to cancel batching before inserting the scanner in the cradle.
In all modes, transmission stops if the scanner moves out of range and resumes when the scanner moves back in range. If you scan a barcode during batch data transmission, it is appended to the end of the batched data. Parameter barcodes are not stored.
