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.
This numeric Code 39 "Barpad" illustrates ACCUMULATE Mode.
