Using Reader Commands; Using Accumulate Mode - Intermec 5055 Reference Manual

This chapter describes the reader commands that you can use while operating the
5055. Reader commands, such as Delete File, allow you to perform a task on the
5055.

Using Reader Commands

temporarily override the configuration settings and some actually change the
configuration settings.

There are three general types of reader commands:

The reader commands are listed in alphabetical order within these three categories. You
will find the purpose, command syntax, and bar code labels for each reader command in
this chapter.
Note: The Code 39 bar code labels in this chapter show an asterisk (*) at the beginning
and end of the human-readable interpretation to represent the start and stop codes. If
you are creating your own Code 39 bar code labels, your bar code printing utility may
automatically supply the asterisks as the start/stop code.

Using Accumulate Mode

You can use Accumulate mode to collect data from a series of bar code labels and enter
them as a single label. When you put the 5055 in Accumulate mode, the 5055 will
collect all scanned bar code labels in the 5055's buffer until you scan either the Enter or
Exit Accumulate mode command.
As you accumulate the data from bar code labels, the data is visible on the bottom line
of the screen. You can edit the accumulated data with the Backspace and Clear
commands.
Backspace This command deletes the last character from the current data record you
are accumulating.
