Batch Mode - Honeywell Xenon Series User Manual

Batch Mode

Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its
base or Access Point, or when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the
base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range or when the records are
manually transmitted.
Note: Batch Mode is only supported by the Honeywell Charge and Communication Base
(CCB) and Honeywell Access Point (AP). Batch mode has limitations when using
multiple scanners to one base or Access Point. If a cordless system is being used in
"multiple link mode," where up to 7 scanners are to be connected to one base or
Access Point, some accumulated or batched scans could be lost if scanners are
constantly being moved in and out of range.
Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of
the base or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the base or
Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner's buffer space is
full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes
again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the base or Access Point so
data can be transmitted.
Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the
base or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the base or Access Point, either
place the scanner in the base, or scan
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 or Access
Point. 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 or Access Point, 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 buffer, you must scan
