1.7 - Batch Operaon
1.7.1 - Introducon
The CR3500 features a batch mode for applicaons requiring a portable reader. Batch mode allows a user to store scanned data to
the reader’s non-volale memory. The user may transfer the data to a host computer when needed. To ulize batch funconality you
will need to a baery cartridge or baery handle.
The CR3500may be programmed to operate in three dierent batch modes:
1. Send & Buffer Mode (Default) - In Send and Buer Mode, the CR3500 will automacally detect when
the USB or RS232 cable is detached, or the Bluetooth® radio is out of range, and will switch into batch mode and
buer the data in non-volale 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 buered data. Once transferred, the data is
automacally erased from the reader’s memory.
Note: Once a unit is reaached to a cable, or enters within radio range, any data scanned WILL NOT be saved to the
non-volale memory. For RS232, a power supply connecon is used to detect when a reader is aached to a host
computer.
2. Log Only Mode - In Log Only Mode, the reader will only store data into non-volale memory. You can
only retrieve the data by scanning the Transfer All Stored Data in Memory code (see explanaon next page). Once
the reader’s memory has been transferred to a host computer, all of the data will sll reside in memory. A user
must scan the Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.
3. Send & Log Mode - In Send and Log Mode the reader will save a copy in non-volale 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 explanaons next page). Once the reader’s
memory has been transferred to a host computer, all of the data will sll reside in memory. A user must scan the
Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.
Note: The reader can be dened as connected if:
1) The Bluetooth radio is in range;
2) The USB cable is aached to a host and the reader is enumerated;
3) The reader is in RS232 Cabled - No Power mode; or
4) The RS232 cable is aached to host with power supply and the reader is in
RS232 Batch-Cable Detect (Default) mode.
The CR3500’s 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.
Feedback
Aer a successful decode in batch mode, the unit will beep once and the memory LED will ash either red or amber
depending on memory level, and every 15 seconds the baery LED will ash green, amber or red depending on the baery level.
This feedback behavior is accurate when a reader is cabled or uncabled.
