Accumulate Mode
Accumulate Mode is an option allowing the TriCoder to accumulate multiple bar codes in its buffer, then transmit them to the computer as if they had been a single bar code. This is useful for entering quantities and other variable data.
Accumulate Mode works with Code 39, Code 93 and Code 128 only and can't be used with a check digit. When the TriCoder reads a bar code with a space as the first character, it beeps and buffers the data without transmission. It continues to read and buffer bar codes (up to 40 characters) until it reads a bar code without a leading space. Once it reads this last bar code, the entire buffer (including that last code) is transmitted as one long bar code. A
Accumulate Mode must be turned on using the bar coded Setup Menu or by using the keypad and going into "Change Setup" while in PROGRAMMING MODE. Accumulate Mode is located in the Code 39 parameters. Choose 4 to Enable or 5 to Disable this feature.
This numeric Code 39 "Barpad" illustrates ACCUMULATE Mode. Scan 5, 3, 8, and Enter. The TriCoder transmits a single message of “538”.
