About the DB-6023
wireless scanner.
While the DB-6023 is being operated in normal real time mode without cache, it does rely on being in
constant wireless communication with the USB receiver.
When a bar code is scanned the decoded data is transmitted directly to the USB receiver and consequently
to the host computer without delay. If the scanner is not connected to the receiver or is out of range the data
can be lost. (The DB-6023 will emit a du-du-du sound to indicate that the data transfer was not successful).
Optionally the real time operation can be selected to operate with cache where data is stored in memory if
out of range and uploaded as soon as communication range is restored, this ensures that data is not lost.
Operating in cache mode can sometimes incur a small time delay that reflects in the speed that data can be
entered.
The absolute wireless range of the DB-6023 can vary and is dependent upon the surrounding conditions
under which it is operating. Line of sight wireless communication range of approximately 50 meters is normal
and up to 90 meters in ideal conditions.
Remote Data Collection.
The DB-6023 does incorporate internal memory storage capabilities and can be set to a data collection
mode for stocktaking purposes. When the batch memory mode is activated its wireless range no longer
restricts the distance the DB-6023 can be remotely taken to collect data. The DB-6023 does however have to
be returned to within wireless range to download collected data. The DB-6023’s large memory is capable of
storing up to 100,000 average library bar codes, it is recommended however that smaller multiple batches
are undertaken.
See the included operational barcode Setup Menu for using the DB-6023 for data collection and stocktaking.
A feature available while undertaking stock collections is the “Retrieve Memory Usage” command, If this bar
code is scanned when in wireless range the DB-6023 will send a message to the computer reporting how
many barcodes have been placed in memory. Simply open a blank Notepad window or clear MS Word
document, scan the “Retrieve Memory Usage” bar code and the information will be displayed.
e.g. BarcodeNumber:XXXXX
The same feature can also be used when operating in direct cache mode. If any scans have been placed in
memory then this command will show the quantity, Using the “Download Data” command will send the
cached data to the computer. The cache can be cleared with the “Delete Data” command.
