3 - 44 CS4070 Scanner Product Reference Guide
Batch Mode
Parameter # 544
SSI # F1h 20h
When a cordless scanner is configured for batch mode, it attempts to store bar code data until transmission is
initialized, or the batch storage buffer is full (i.e., the Barcode.txt file is at maximum memory on the CS4070
only). Parameter bar codes are not stored. When a bar code is saved successfully, a good decode beep
sounds and the LED flashes green. If the scanner is unable to store a new bar code, a long beep sounds until
the scan button is released, indicating the scanner is out of memory.
Modes of Operation
•
Normal Batch Mode (default) - The scanner does not batch decoded data but transmits all decoded
data to the host over Bluetooth. If the scanner is not paired to a host and you attempt to scan and decode
a bar code, the scanner emits 4 short high beeps.
•
Out of Range Batch Mode - The scanner batches data whenever it loses connection to a remote
device, moves out of range, or is not paired. It suppresses batching decoded data if paired to a remote
device and transmits decoded data to the host device.
•
Standard Batch Mode - The scanner begins storing bar code data after scanning the Enter Batch
Mode bar code. Scan Send Batch Data to trigger data transmission and dump the contents of the
Barcode.txt file stored in \CS4070<drive>:\Scanned Barcodes\.
•
Batch Only Mode - The scanner radio is off (never turned on) and the scanner stores all bar code data.
IMPORTANT If the batch mode selection is changed while there is batched data, the new batch mode
takes effect only after all the previously batched data is sent.
NOTE Always delete the Barcode.txt file before changing the batch mode state, either by holding the
delete key (- ) for 3 seconds, or scanning Clear Data on page 3-11.
NOTE Transmission halts if the scanner moves out of range. When the scanner moves backs into range, it
automatically re-connects to the Bluetooth host and resumes transmission. Scanning is disabled until all
batched data is sent to the host.
NOTE In this mode, if an abnormal Bluetooth termination occurs (e.g., removing the battery) while the CS4070 is
transmitting batched data over Bluetooth, the scanner resends the data on a reset and auto-reconnection
to ensure that no data is lost.
NOTE To dump the batched data stored in the /CS4070/Scanned Barcodes/Barcode.txt file, connect via USB
and either run the autorun.ini Windows script (see Autorun Feature on page 2-3) to copy and paste the
data into another PC program, OR cut and paste the file onto another network drive.
CAUTION If you copy and paste the Barcode.txt file from the CS4070 scanner to a network drive or a local PC
drive, delete the file afterward. The scanner does not change the batch mode state if the Barcode.txt
has stored batch data.
