7.7 Scanning split QR codes
QR Code symbology can split data into a maximum of 16 blocks and encode each of them into a split QR code (model 1
or 2). Split QR code scanning is possible only with the same QR code model.
The scanner can scan split QR codes and restore them to the original data string in Edit mode, Batch Edit mode, and
Non-edit mode, which you can select using the QR-coded parameter menu.
Edit mode
The scanner accumulates and edits split QR codes read and then sends the edited data to the host PC. If the total data
volume of split QR codes exceeds 8 kilobytes, a read error will result and the accumulated data will be discarded.
Batch Edit mode
If all the split codes of a QR code to be scanned lie within the readable area, the scanner reads them all once and then edits
and sends them to the host PC.
Non-edit mode
Each time a single split QR code is read, the scanner sends the data read to the host PC.
When scanning split QR codes, the scanner beeps in a different way from usual. That is, when the scanner reads the first
split code, it beeps twice and enters the split code scanning mode. When the scanner completes the sequence of split code
scanning, it beeps three times.
NOTE:
If you scan any non-split QR code or a code other than a QR code midway through a sequence of split QR code
scanning, the scanner cancels the split code scanning, discards the split QR codes already scanned, and sends the code
scanned last.
NOTE:
If the scanner switches to standby in Auto-off mode (after approx. 5 seconds of holding down the trigger switch or
by releasing the trigger switch within 5 seconds) or the split code scanning interval exceeds approx. 3 seconds, then the
scanner discards the data scanned and cancels the split code scanning sequence.
NOTE:
If you scan a split code of any other QR Code before completion of the current scanning sequence, the scanner
discards the data already scanned and starts a new scanning sequence.
