Memory Module
The Memory Module option is a factory installed feature that is requested at time of order. The Memory Module option allows the 5300 series scanner to store decoded labels in an internal battery backed up RAM. The stored buffered labels can then be transmitted some time later. The user may also choose an interlabel transmission delay in cases where the transmission rate of the buffered decoded label is faster than the receiving equipment.
Switching to the Memory Module mode is achieved by scanning the Enable Memory Module symbol. The Memory Module is cleared every time Memory Module is enabled. While in Memory Module mode, the scanner will store in its internal memory all scanned bar code labels.
The user can transmit the stored labels by scanning the Send Memory Module symbol. When the transmission rate is faster than the receiv- ing equipment, the user can program a delay that will occur after each label. The delay is programmed by scanning the Interlabel Delay symbol (see the Intercharacter Delay page of the Setup Parameters section), followed by two digits (see Digit Selection page) to set the delay duration. The allowable range of values is 00 to 99, where 99 corresponds to a delay of 9.9 seconds.
In order to restore the scanner to normal operation, the user needs to scan the Disable Memory Module label. Also the user may clear the contents of the Memory Module by scanning the Clear Memory Mod- ule symbol or by disabling and enabling Memory Module. Stored labels are cleared whenever Memory Module is enabled.
The stored data in the Memory Module cannot be trans-
mitted through the Wand Emulation output.
NOTE
The Memory Module feature is to be used only with the Memory Module mode. When used with scanners without this optional mode, programmed instructions will be
CAUTION damaged.
