Batch Mode

Parameter #
544
(SSI # F1h 20h)
This parameter allows the scanner to store barcode data (excluding parameter barcodes) until transmission is initiated or it stores the maximum number of barcodes.
When the scanner successfully stores a barcode, 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:
[Number of storable barcodes = 61,440 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the barcode + 3)]
If you change the batch mode while there is batched data, the new batch mode takes effect only after the scanner transmits 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 the scanner is re-inserted 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.
