Accumulate Mode
Accumulate Mode
is an option allowing the RF Terminal to accumulate
multiple bar codes in its buffer, then transmit them to the computer as if
they had been a single bar code. This is useful for entering quantities
and other variable data.
Accumulate Mode
works with Code 39, Code 93 and Code 128 only
and can't be used with a check digit. When the RF Terminal reads a bar
code with a
space as the first character
, it beeps and buffers the data
without transmission. It continues to read and buffer bar codes (up to
40 characters) until it reads a bar code
without a leading space
. Once
it reads this last bar code, the entire buffer (including that last code) is
transmitted as one long bar code. A “double-minus” sign (--) bar code
clears the buffer. The
ENTER
code on this Barpad is a Code 39
Start/Stop Character
only.
Accumulate Mode
must be turned on using the bar coded Setup Menu
or by using the keypad.
Accumulate Mode
is located in the Code 39
parameters. Choose
4
to
Enable
or
5
to
Disable
this feature.
