Wireless Reader: Buffering Data
When you are within the wireless range of the base station, your
wireless reader sends decoded data to your PC through the base station,
just as if you used a tethered reader. You can also see the decoded
images in the Setup Tool, if it is running and connected to the reader.
When you leave the wireless range, however, you lose connection to
your PC, but you can still keep reading codes. The decoded data is saved
in the buffer of the reader.
This buffered data appears on your PC again when you come back within
the wireless range, but ONLY IF you were connected to a terminal
program when you left the wireless range.
Buffered read results on the reader are not displayed in the Setup Tool;
they are only transmitted over an existing keyboard emulation, RS-232
Serial or TCP/IP Telnet connection. NOTE that the images acquired by
the reader when it is out of wireless range are never saved, and can not
be retrieved.
Open a connection with the reader in a terminal program so that you
gain the buffered data when wireless connection is established again.
