1.7 - Batch Operation
1.7.1 - Introduction
The CR3500unit features a batch mode for applications requiring a portable reader. Batch mode allows a user to store scanned data to the reader’s non-volatile memory. The user may transfer the data to a host computer when needed. To utilize batch functionality you will need to purchase the 1950 mAH Lithium Ion battery from a Code representative.
The CR3500may be programmed to operate in three different batch modes:
1. Send & Buffer Mode (Default) - In Send and Buffer Mode, the CR3500 unit will automatically detect when the USB or RS-232 cable is detached, or the Bluetooth® radio is out of range, and will switch into batch mode and buffer the data in non-volatile memory. When the reader is reconnected to your host computer, or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in range, the reader will auto transfer the buffered data. Once transferred, the data is automatically erased from the reader’s memory.
Note: Once a unit is reattached to a cable or enters within radio range, any data scanned WILL NOT be saved to the non-volatile memory. For RS-232, a power supply connection is used to detect when a reader is attached to a host computer.
2. Log Only Mode - In Log Only Mode, the reader will only store data into non-volatile memory. You can only retrieve the data by scanning the Transfer All Stored Data in Memory code (see explanation next page). Once the reader’s memory has been transferred to a host computer, all of the data will still reside in memory. A user must scan the
Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.
3. Send & Log Mode - In Send and Log Mode the reader will save a copy in non-volatile memory as well as send the data if the reader is connected. The data can be retrieved by scanning the Transfer All Stored Data in Memory code or the Transfer Only Unsent Data in Memory code (see explanations next page). Once the reader’s memory has been transferred to a host computer, all of the data will still reside in memory. A user must scan the
Note: The reader can be defi ned as connected if:
1) The Bluetooth radio is in range;
2) The USB cable is attached to a host and the reader is enumerated;
3) The reader is in RS-232 Cabled - No Power mode; or
4) The RS-232 cable is attached to host with power supply and the reader is in
RS-232 Batch-Cable Detect (Default) mode.
The CR3500’s dedicated batch memory is a minimum of 1MB. To determine the number of reads that may be stored, divide the average bytes of a scan into the total minimum memory.
Feedback
After a successful decode in batch mode, the unit will beep once and the memory LED will fl ash either red or amber depending on memory level, and every 15 seconds the battery LED will fl ash green, amber or red depending on the battery level. This feedback behavior is accurate when a reader is cabled or uncabled.
Delete Scanned Data from Memory code to clear memory.
Save Settings
C004387_03_CR3500_User_Manual - 6
Transferring and Deleting Data
There are three different codes to transfer and delete data in memory.
1. Transfer All Data in Memory - This code will send all data in memory everytime the code is scanned.
2. Transfer Only Unsent Data in Memory - This code will send only the data in memory that hasn’t already been sent
when the code is scanned (ONLY works in Send & Buffer and Send & Log modes).
3. Delete Scanned Data from Memory - Scanning this code will erase all data in the reader’s non-volatile memory.
Auto Transfer Buffer Memory
By default, when reconnected, the CR3500 will automatically transfer any data in memory once a connection to a host is established. If your application is not ready, the reader will send the data anyway and the data could be lost. If you do not wish for the reader to immediately send data upon connection, please scan the Disable Auto Transfer Buffer Memory code.
Send & Buffer Mode (Default) Log Only Mode Send & Log Mode
Transfer Only Unsent
Delete Scanned Data
Transfer All Data in Memory Data in Memory from Memory
Enable Auto Transfer Disable Auto Transfer Buffer Memory (Default) Buffer Memory
RS-232 Considerations
In RS-233 Cabled-No Power mode, the CR3500 will behave as if it is always connected even though the serial cable is disconnected or the power adapter is unplugged. Data scanned will be sent, regardless of connection status. Data scanned in Cabled-No Power mode will be lost if the CR3500 is not connected to the serial cable - it will not buffer the data, unless Send & Log or Log Only mode has been enabled.
In RS-232 Batch-Cable Detect (Default) mode, the CR3500 will detect if it is connected to a powered serial cable, if it is, it will then send the data. If a powered serial cable is not connected or if the power adapter is not connected to the serial cable, the CR3500 will buffer the data. When the CR3500 is then connected to a powered serial cable, the data will automatically upload.

1.9 - Bluetooth Radio Operation
1.9.1 - Introduction
The CR3500 features a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows for point-to-point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial port protocol (SPP). If keyboard entry is necessary, Code XML Router will need to be installed. The following guide will give you general instructions on connecting your CR3500 to a desktop or laptop computer with a Bluetooth radio.
Connecting With A QuickConnect Code
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Code website and create a QuickConnect Code that is specifi c to your device (Figure 1.21). This code will link your CR3500 directly to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a QuickConnect Code, you will need to know the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device. You can usually fi nd the 12-character Bluetooth address somewhere on the device near the device’s serial number (see Figure
1.22).
Figure 1.21
Figure 1.22
If you purchased a CodeXML Bluetooth Modem or a Belkin® Bluetooth adapter from Code or from an authorized distributor, a QuickConnect Code was included. If you bought a Bluetooth adapter separately and wish to create a QuickConnect Code, please visit Code’s web site at: http://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php.
Important Note: You will need to locate the Communications (COM) Port assigned to the Bluetooth serial port protocol. While installing the Bluetooth Confi guration Manager Software that was included with your Bluetooth adapter, make sure to note the Communications (COM) Port number the software assigned for the adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port through which the CR3500 will connect.
To connect your reader, use the following steps:
1. Power on the CR3500 reader by pressing one of the red buttons for one second to power on the reader.
2. Scan the Reset to RF Factory Defaults Code (M684_01).
3. Scan the Quick Connect Code you receieved or created from Code’s website.
4. The CR3500 will automatically connect to the computer. By default, the CR3500 will beep once after it connects and beep four times in a row if it did not connect.
5. Scan the Save Settings Code (M188_02) if you want to save the wireless connection settings to the CR3500 so that the CR3500 will automatically try to connect wirelessly the next time it is powered on.
Example: Reset to RF Factory Defaults QuickConnect Save Settings
