1.2 MEMORY
The scanned data can be sent to a host computer immediately via the WPAN connection
or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.
1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER
By default, the transmit buffer is enabled and ready for use when the scanner is out of
range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one
short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off. However,
the host computer may not receive the data immediately if the scanner i s out of range.
With the 10 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep
on reading barcodes until the buffer is full.
