Batch Mode - Omron HS-360X User Manual

Batch Mode

Batch Mode
Parameter # 544
Batch mode does not apply to SPP Secondary Mode.
The scanner supports five versions of batch mode. When the scanner is configured for any
of the batch modes, it attempts to store barcode data (not parameter barcodes) until transmission
is initialized, or the maximum number of barcodes are stored. When a barcode is saved
successfully, a good decode beep sounds and the LED flashes green. If the scanner is
unable to store a new barcode, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds.
In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of barcodes) the scanner can store as follows:
Number of storable barcodes = 30,720 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the
barcode + 3).
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
Modes of Operation
• Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The scanner attempts to transmit every scanned barcode.
• Out of Range Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing barcode data when it loses its
connection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out
of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the
remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks back into range).
• Standard Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing barcode data after Enter Batch
Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning Send Batch Data
Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost.
• Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing barcode data when Enter
Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the scanner into
the cradle.
If the scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts
until the scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.
• Batch Only Mode - The scanner radio is turned off and the scanner stores all barcode
data. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the scanner into the cradle.
If the scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts
until the scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.
The radio may be turned off as batch data is transmitted over the cradle contacts.
This mode can only be exited by scanning Normal (default) mode.
• Parameter Batch Mode - When Parameter Batch Mode is entered and no connection
to the cradle exists, the scanner begins storing parameter programming symbol data
intended for the cradle. Parameter transmission is triggered by insertion of the scanner
into the cradle. Parameter Batch Mode is exited upon the end of the transmission.
Alternatively, parameter programming symbol batching my be cancelled prior to insertion
of the scanner into the cradle by scanning Exit Parameter Batch Mode.
Parameter Batch Mode may be used when the cradle and/or scanner is configured
with its radio turned off or connected to a non-cradle device.
