7Offline Mode
If you are heading for a working area which lies outside the Bluetooth
signal range, you may activate the offline mode of the scanner,
following the steps described below. Under this enhanced offline
mode, all scanned data will be stored directly into the buffer memory
of the device. Furthermore, the data entries will be permanently
saved in the buffer memory prior to the manual upload into the
working station, so that you may upload them time and again to your
liking.
Due to the fact that the data entries will be automatically wiped from
the buffer memory during upload, a data loss is possible when
malfunctions occur during upload, e.g. if the working station suffers
an unanticipated system shut down.
An operation in offline mode is strongly recommended under the
following scenarios:
1) During the scanning process, the device often leaves the
Bluetooth signal range;
2) Due to a high quantity of blocking objects, the Bluetooth signal’s
stability can’t be ensured.
1. By scanning the following barcode, the offline mode will be
activated.
Offline mode activation
2. By scanning the following barcode, all data in the buffer memory
will be deleted (only in offline mode).
