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 th e Memory Mo dule by scan ning the Cle ar Memory Mo d-
ule symbol or by disabling and enabling Memory Module. Stored
labels are cleared whenever Memory Module is enabled.
NOTE
The stored data in the Memory Module cannot be trans-
mitted through the Wand Emulation output.
CAUTION
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
damaged.
