No data loss mode
The ‘No data loss mode’ is activated
by default
for all scanners supporting the feature (RoadRunners,
BaracodaPencil2, RoadRunners Evolution, D-fly, ScanWear, ToughRunners, DualRunners). When you leave the
connection zone, the ‘No data loss mode’ allows a bufferisation of scanned barcodes. All scans will be
automatically uploaded to the host when reconnected.
If your application is unable to handle all of the incoming barcode scans, disable this feature by scanning the
‘no data loss mode’ barcode.
Your scanner and any future connected scanners will retain this configuration
.

The batch mode can be used with scanners supporting batch mode:
- RoadRunners Evolution (CPU firmware version 1.33 and newer)
- RoadRunners (CPU firmware version 3.20 and newer)
- BaracodaPencil2 (CPU firmware version 1.34 and newer)
- DualRunners (CPU firmware version 1.38 and newer)
This functionality is only available for Plug&Scan dongles with firmware version 3.27 and newer (see “Print
Firmware Version” section for how to get the firmware version).
NOTE
: For an application requiring batch mode feature, please note that the RS232 Plug & Scan forces the
settings of the scanner to which it gets connected in the last configuration used by the RS232 dongle. So it’s
very important before to connect a new scanner using Batch mode (and with datas in its Batch memory) to
check that the RS232 Plug & Scan is already configured in Batch mode, and not in Real Time mode. So you have
to respect the following process:
1)
Associate the scanner to the RS232 Plug &Scan
FIRST
(by scanning its CONNECT barcode).
2)
Configure your scanner in Batch mode AFTER (by scanning the configuration barcodes available in this
document), and start your work.
The upload process consists of temporarily switching the scanner into Real time with “no data loss mode” ON
(all the barcodes or RFID Tag ID in memory will be sent using the no data loss protocol). Then the scanner
switches back to batch mode when all the barcodes are properly sent.
