Batch Operation

Note: To utilize batch functionality, you will need to use the BH1 or BH2 battery handle.

The HE40T features a batch mode for applications requiring a portable reader. Batch mode allows you to store scanned data to the reader's non-volatile memory. You may transfer the data to a host computer when needed.

The HE40T may be programmed to operate in the following batch modes:

• Send & Buffer Mode (Default) - In Send and Buffer Mode, the HE40T reader will automatically detect when the USB or RS-232 cable is detached or the Bluetooth® radio is out of range, and will switch into batch mode (see "Radio Range and Transferring Data" on page 1-22) 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 reader's memory.

Note: Once a reader is re-attached to a cable or enters within radio range, any data scanned WILL NOT be saved to the non-volatile memory. For
RS-232, the HE40T must be in Batch mode for the data to be stored.

• 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 "Transferring and Deleting Data" on page 1-9). Once the reader's memory has been transferred to a host computer, all of the data will still reside in memory. You must scan the Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.

• 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 in Memory code (see "Transferring and Deleting Data" on page 1-9). Once the readers memory has been transferred to a host computer, all of the data will still reside in memory. You must scan the Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.

Note: The reader can be defined as connected if:

- The Bluetooth radio is in range.

- The USB cable is attached to a host and the reader is enumerated.

- The reader is in RS-232 cabled mode.

- The RS-232 cable is attached to a host with a power supply and the reader is in
RS-232 batch mode.

The HE40T 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.
