9560 Operating Modes and Command Types

The 9560 has three basic operating modes:
• Data Entry mode, which includes Accumulate and Full ASCII modes
• Configuration mode
• IRL Editor mode
By default, the reader is in Data Entry mode, waiting to receive
Data Entry mode
data or commands from a bar code label, the keypad, or the host. You scan a
label or send a command to change modes. For example, if you want to set
several reader parameters, you would enter Prompting Configuration and
make changes.
Use configuration mode to define the general operation of
Configuration mode
the scanner, such as bar codes recognized. For more information, see Chapter
6, "Configuring the 9560."
Use the IRL editor to create and edit IRL programs. For more
IRL Editor mode
information, see Chapter 9, "Interactive Reader Language."

Accumulate Mode

Accumulate mode is a part of Data Entry mode that you use to build longer
data blocks to send to the host. The reader stores both multiple-read and
regular labels in the data buffer until you tell the reader to send the information
to the host.
After scanning the Enter Accumulate label and a regular label, the reader does
the following:
1. sounds one low beep,
2. adds the label information to the data buffer,
3. holds the data until you send the command to transmit.
The reader transmits the buffer contents only after you scan the Enter label, the
Exit Accumulate label, or the Transmit (No Clear) label.
See Chapter 8, "Data Entry Commands," for information on the Accumulate
mode commands.
