Batch Set the batch mode: scanned barcodes are stored in non-volatile memory and can be

uploaded to your application later (click on BATCH CONFIG for more advanced

settings)

Real-time Set the Real-time mode: scanned barcodes are transmitted to your application

immediately when the Bluetooth radio connection is active. If the connection is not

established the barcodes are lost, unless “Enable Buffering” is set (see below).

When “Enable Buffering” is set (see "Advanced Settings" below), all barcodes

scanned when the Bluetooth radio connection is not available are stored in the barcode

reader's volatile memory and are sent when the connection is established or re-

established. The stored barcodes are lost if the barcode reader turns off.

Master Set the Master mode: The barcode reader automatically creates connection to the

specified Host device when you scan a barcode. Then the reader works as in real time

mode.

Host addr. For use in Master mode : Set, in the address field, the Bluetooth address of the host

device your reader has to connect.
