OPERATING THE 1560/62 BT IN REMOTE COLLECTION (BATCH) MODE.

While the 1560/62 BT can be conveniently used as a wirelessly linked bar code scanner, the

real power and benefit of the 1560/62 BT portable comes from its ability to be used remotely

to collect asset and stock data.

The 1560/62 BT’s wireless range is limited to approximately 90 metres when operated in

standard (non-batch) mode, provision is made within the design so that any bar codes that

might be scanned while the unit is operating outside of the 90-metre bluetooth range are still

retained. If the 1560/62 BT is operating in standard (non-batch) mode and detects an out of

range condition (usually indicated by three short beeps) it will save the scanned bar codes to

temporary memory.

As soon as the 1560/62 BT is

returned within the 90-metre

wireless range any data stored in

the temporary memory will be

immediately sent to the 3656

communication stand. The 1560/62

BT should not be operated in

standard (non-batch) mode outside

of the 90-metre range for extended

periods to avoid exceeding the

temporary memory storage

capacity and consequent potential

loss of data.

If the 1560/62 BT is to be used

outside of the 90-metre bluetooth

range for long periods it should be

configured to operate in remote

collection (batch) mode. The

accompanying A4 Dataman bar

code command chart has been

provided to assist in this operation.

The bar code command chart is

laid out in three distinct sections

“Set for Remote Data Collection

Mode”; “Set for Normal

Operation” and “Steps for

Downloading Data to the

Server”. The chart contains

certain instructions and comments

on usage, all operations should

commence by scanning the top most bar code of each section e.g. (No 1) “Start Instruction

Mode”; or (No 2) “Start”; or (No 3) “Begin Instruction Mode” and end by scanning the

“Update (Exit) or Finish Instruction Mode” bar code.

Before the 1560/62 BT can be used remotely it will be

necessary to instruct the unit to enter Batch Mode. The

way this is accomplished is to initially scan each of the

three bar codes at the top left section of the command

chart titled “Set for Remote Data Collection Mode”.

Scan each bar code 1, 2, 3 in this order.

Once the 1560/62 BT is set for batch mode operation it

can be taken any distance from its associated 3656

communication stand, all data scanned while in batch

mode is stored in the 1560/62 BT’s 512-Kb non-volatile

flash memory. When the collected and stored data needs

to be downloaded to the computer, the command bar

codes in the section “Steps for Downloading Data to

the Server” are used. Importantly the 1560/62 BT

should be returned to within the 90-metre range of the

3656 stand before data downloading is attempted.
