Inter record download delay:-
Before undertaking any data downloading activity the first bar code command to be sent
should be the inter record download delay instruction. This command will cause the 1560/62
BT to pause a commanded time between each set of data (bar code) downloaded and hence
give time for the receiving
program to process the data.
In order to send this instruction,
scan the command bar code
“Begin Instruction Mode” then
the command bar code for the
desired delay period (0.25 sec
is usually adequate) followed by
the “Finish Instruction Mode”
command bar code.
This download delay period
instruction sequence must be
sent prior to downloading data
and is required to be sent once
only, all subsequent data
download operations will use
the same delay period. See
Command bar codes 1, 2, 6
highlighted left.
Once the download delay has been set, the actual stored data can be downloaded to the
server, the targeted computer program should be prepared to receive the data.
In a similar fashion to the download delay instruction described above the data is downloaded
by firstly scanning the command bar code “Begin Instruction Mode” followed by the
command bar code “Transmit Stored Data” followed by the “Finish Instruction Mode”
command bar code. See command bar codes 1, 5, 6 highlighted below.
Downloading data:-
It should be noted that
immediately following the
instruction to download data the
1560/62 BT usually pauses a few
seconds before downloading
commences, this can lead to
concerns that the instruction has
not succeeded.
(Please wait).
