Batch Mode Quantity
When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple bar codes
scanned, rather than a single bar code multiple times. For example, if you scan
three bar codes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit your
data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the
Quantity Codes (page 34), you could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.
Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the bar code
data and the quantity, refer to Data Format beginning on page 73.
Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.
Enter Quantities
Quantity Codes (page 34) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned,
up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits are shifted from right to left, so if a fifth
digit is scanned, the first digit scanned is discarded and the second, third and
fourth digits are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.
For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been set
to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345.
Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's bar code.
2. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.
Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.
