9Transmitting Data to a Host
Page 18 of 24
9 Transmitting Barcode and/or RFID Data to a Host
Transmitting Data to a Host
Batch mode
All barcodes and RFID data scanned in batch mode are saved in the file “Output.txt” on the removable drive
“SCANNDY”. Connect the device to the host computer via USB and use the Windows-Explorer to navigate to
the device “SCANNDY”. Copy the file “Output.txt” to the host.
To delete the data from the device just delete the file “Output.txt”.
Transmitting data from a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device
When the scanner is paired to a host via Bluetooth, the data transmits to the host after each scanning
procedure and is not stored on the scanner unless the scanner moves out of the range of the host. For out of
range usage you can configure the device to either store the data in a cache memory or do not allow
scanning.
If the device was configured to store the out of range captured data, it stores the data in a file Cache.txt.
After reconnection and another scan the device transmits all cached data to the host.
Via Master Setup a key for emptying the cache can be assigned.
Example:
1. No connection: 3 tags are scanned stored in the cache
2. Reconnection via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
3. 1 tag is scanned 1 + 3 data sets are transmitted
Bidirectional communication for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connected devices
For applications that require bidirectional communication between the device and the host, PANMOBIL
devices support an embedded communication protocol SCOMP and REMOTE mode.
