Conguraon Code
Batch mode allows a user to store scanned data to the reader’s non-volale memory. The user may transfer the data to a host device
when needed.
The CR3600 may be congured to operate in three dierent modes:
1. Batch Mode Disable (Default) - In default mode, data is NOT stored in memory. The CR3600 will automacally detect when the
Bluetooth radio is out of range, and will beep 4 mes each scan to indicate this. The CR3600 will automacally reconnect when
the Bluetooth radio is in range.
2. Log Only Mode - In Log Only Mode, the reader will only store data to its memory.
• The data can ONLY be retrieved by scanning the “Transfer Stored Data in Memory” barcode. Scanning the “Transfer Stored
Data in Memory” barcode will transfer the data to the host device, but not delete the data from the reader’s memory.
• A user must scan the “Delete Buered Scanned Data from Memory” barcode to clear reader memory.
• The CR3600 will reconnect to the Bluetooth radio when the “Transfer Data in Memory” or the QuickConnect Code is scanned.
• Auto reconnect is disabled when Log Only is enabled.
3. Send & Log Mode - In Send & Log Mode the reader will store a copy to its memory as well as send the data if the reader is
connected.
• The data can be retrieved by scanning the “Transfer Stored Data from Memory” barcode. Scanning the “Transfer Stored Data
in Memory” barcode will transfer the data to the host device, but not delete the data from the reader’s memory.
• A user must scan the “Delete Buered Scanned Data from Memory” barcode to clear reader memory.
• The CR3600 will reconnect to the Bluetooth radio when the “Transfer Data in Memory” or the QuickConnect Code is scanned.
• Auto reconnect is disabled when Log Only is enabled.
Aer a successful decode in batch mode, the unit will beep once and the memory LED will turn green indicang stored memory.

Transferring and Deleng Data
There are three dierent codes to transfer and delete data in memory.
• Transfer All Data in Memory - This will send all data in memory every me the barcode is scanned.
• Transfer Only Unsent Data in Memory - This will send only the data in memory that hasn’t already been sent when the barcode
is scanned (only in batch modes).
• Delete Scanned Data from Memory - Scanning this barcode will erase all data in the reader’s memory.

Important Note If Using a non-Code Bluetooth Device:
To connect to a Bluetooth device not manufactured by Code, you will need the Bluetooth address (oen referred to as the BD_ADDR)
of that device. The 12-character Bluetooth address can be found on the device near the serial number. Then visit Code’s website at:
hp://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php and enter the 12-character address to create the QuickConnect Code.
You will need to locate the Communicaons (COM) Port assigned to the Bluetooth serial port protocol before installing the Bluetooth
Conguraon Manager soware that is included with your Bluetooth adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port through which the
CR3600 will connect.

24.0 - CR3600 DPM
DPM (Direct Part Marks such as Dot Peen and Laser-Etched) reading is enabled by default in CR3600 DPM readers.
Dot Peen and Laser-Etched Reading
Dot Peen and Laser-Etched reading is the default DPM seng. This will also read common 1D/2D printed barcodes.
Dot Peen Barcode Reading
If reading Dot Peen barcodes only, scan the DPM (Dot Peen Only) On conguraon barcode to opmize reading for that barcode
type. Scanning the DPM (Dot Peen Only) On conguraon barcode will disable laser-etched barcode reading. This will not read
common 1D/2D printed barcodes.
Laser-Etched Barcode Reading
If reading laser-etched barcodes only, scan the DPM (Laser-Etched only) On conguraon barcode to opmize laser-etched barcode
reading. Scanning the DPM (Laser-Etched Only) On conguraon barcode will disable Dot Peen barcode reading. This will also read
common 1D/2D printed barcodes.
DPM (All) O
To reset a CR3600 DPM reader to standard CR3600 sengs, scan the DPM (All) O conguraon barcode. This will disable all DPM
reading. To return to DPM reading funconality, scan the preferred DPM On conguraon barcode.

CR3600 DPM Targeng
The opmal reading distance between reader and barcode varies based on barcode type and quality. Typical reading distance is
from 2 inches (50mm) to 4 inches (100mm). To improve reading performance for dot peen (and other) marks, lt the reader 10 to 45
degrees from vercal so that it is not perpendicular to the barcode.
