scanning the barcode below.
2. Inventory Mode
If you want to keep the barcodes in the buffer of Inateck BCST-50 for multiple
uploading, you can choose inventory mode. In inventory mode, Inateck BCST-50 will
count the number of the barcodes automatically. Users may use inventory mode
to keep scanned barcodes in the buffer of Inateck BCST-50, and upload them to
computer in batches. Under inventory mode, users are not restricted to the time
and location when upload data. Of course, history data can be cleared in buffer after
uploading. More details about inventory mode are as below.

4. Bluetooth HID and SPP modes
BCST-50 has Bluetooth capability that supports data transmission under two modes
including HID and SPP. When under HID mode, the BCST-50 connects your phone
or computer automatically after pairing successfully. You can open a text editor
programon your computer or phone to receive barcode information then. When
under SPP mode, the BCST-50 can only finish connecting your computer or phone
with the help of serial debugging tools after successful pairing. In that case, You
should first open a serial debugging tool on your computer or phone, and use it
to receive the barcode data. HID is the default mode, however, you can switch the
modes by scanning the barcodes below.

6. Time interval setting to read the same barcode
After reading a barcode, the scanner will not read the duplicate one within a certain
time interval you set. Default: 0.5s, Setting range: 0-9.9s. The function is only available
under Continuous Scanning Mode and Auto-induction Mode.
To set the time interval to read duplicate barcodes, for example:
6.1 To set the time interval to 0.5s, please scan the barcode below, and then scan "0"
and "5" in Appendix 1.
6.2 To set the time interval to 8s, please scan the barcode below, and then scan "8"
and "0" in Appendix 1.
7. Settings to read all kinds of codes
