Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its
base, or when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the base once the
scanner is back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.
Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of
the base. The data is automatically transmitted to the base once the scanner is
back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned gen-
erate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the scanner must be moved
back into range of the base so data can be transmitted.
Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the
base. To transmit the stored data to the base, either place the scanner in the base,
or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 105). When the scanner’s buffer space is
full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes
again, the data must be transmitted to the base. Once the data is transmitted, it is
cleared in the scanner.
Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the
data is transmitted to the base, it is retained in the scanner. If you want to transmit
more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear the scanner’s buf-
fer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 105).
