Accumulate Mode
Accumulate Mode is an option allowing the TriCoder 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 TriCoder 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. Scanning a
“backspace” code ($H in Code 39) backspaces in Full ASCII mode. The ENTER code on this Barpad is a Code 39 Start/Stop
Character only and assumes you have a Terminator Character specified. If you do not have a Terminator Character programmed in
your TriCoder, substitute the bar code for CR from the FULL ASCII MENU.
Accumulate Mode must be turned on using the bar coded Setup Menu or by using the keypad and going into "Change Setup" while in
PROGRAMMING MODE. 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. Scan 5, 3, 8, and Enter. The TriCoder transmits a single message
of “538”.
