Accumulate Mode
Accumulate Mode is an option (which can be enabled or disabled using the Reader
Setup Menu's Code 39 section) allowing the reader 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.
It works with Code 39 only, and can't be used with a check digit. When the reader
reads a bar code with a leading space, 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. Then the entire buffer (including that
last code) is transmitted as one long bar code. A bar code of a double minus (--)
sign clears the buffer. Scanning a backspace code ($H) backspaces in Full ASCII
mode. A handy code for Enter (as seen on the "Barpad" below) is a Start/Stop only.
(No data.)
This numeric "Barpad" illustrates Accumulate Mode. Scan 5, 3, 8, and Enter.
The reader transmits a single message of 538.
