In Batch Mode, data will be temporarily stored in memory buffer

(2KB RAM) when the scanner is out of range or in poor connection

quality. Once the scanner gets back in range, the stored data will

be sent back to the host immediately, which will also be erased in

memory buffer at the same time.

Batch Mode can only function in the following conditions:

1. The scanner has been connected to a host device.

2. The scanner is NOT in Memory Mode.

The scanner’s interface is Wireless by default. However, it can also

be used as a tethered scanner by scanning above barcodes.
