In batch mode, the selected Transmission Mode determines the behavior of the gun at the time the list of codes
is transmitted. If One-way mode is enabled the codes are transmitted one after the other without interruption. In
Two-way mode after transmitting each code, the gun waits for the Host answer message to be shown on the
display. Therefore, in Two-way transmission mode and normal batch mode, the Start Normal Batch
Transmission barcode must be read after each code to continue whereas with automatic batch mode just pull
and release the trigger after each code.
The code which has a transmission pending is shown on the display in reverse video indicating that it cannot be
deleted.
The selection of batch mode in EEPROM provides the advantage of permanently saving data in the EEPROM
to avoid losing them if for example the batteries run down.
The RAM selection allows more data to be saved and is transmitted more quickly to the base station. For
example for a list of codes having an average of 20 characters each, the EEPROM can store about 60 codes
while the RAM can store almost 100.
