Batch Mode Settings - Code Reader 2.0 User Manual

8.1 - Batch Mode
The CR2 unit features a batch mode for applications requiring a portable reader. Batch mode
allows a user to store scanned data to the reader's non-volatile memory. The user may transfer
the data to a host computer when needed. To utilize batch functionality you will need to purchase the
1400 mA or 1950 mA Lithium Ion battery from a Code representative.
The CR2 may be programmed to operate in three different batch modes:
1. Send & Buffer Mode (Default) - In Send and Buffer Mode, the CR2 unit will automatically
detect when the USB or RS232 cable is detached or the Bluetooth® radio is out of
range and will switch into batch mode (see miscellaneous note on page 17) and buffer
the data in non-volatile memory. When the reader is reconnected to your host computer
or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in range the reader will auto transfer the buffered
data. Once transferred, the data is automatically erased from the readers memory.
Note: Once a unit is reattached to a cable or enters within radio range, any data scanned
WILL NOT be saved to the non-volatile memory. For RS232, the CR2 must be in Batch
mode for the data to be stored.
2. Log Only Mode - In Log Only Mode, the reader will only store data into non volatile
memory. You can only retrieve the data by scanning the Transfer All Stored Data in
Memory code (see explanation next page). Once the readers memory has been
transferred to a host computer, all of the data will still reside in memory. A user must
scan the Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.
3. Send & Log Mode - In Send and Log Mode the reader will save a copy in non volatile
memory as well as send the data if the reader is connected. The data can be retrieved by
scanning the Transfer All Stored Data in Memory code or the Transfer Only Unsent Data
Data in Memory code (see explanations next page). Once the readers memory has been
transferred to a host computer, all of the data will still reside in memory. A user must
scan the Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.
Note: The reader can be defined as connected if:
1)
2)
3)
4)
The CR2 dedicated batch memory is a minimum of 1MB. To determine the number of reads that may be
stored, divide the average bytes of a scan into the total minimum memory.
