Video 2: 2 Types Upload Ways. This video demonstrates two methods of uploading scanned data: instant upload directly to a connected computer or mobile device, and storage mode where data is saved internally before being uploaded later.
In this mode, scanned barcode data is immediately transmitted to the connected device (PC, smartphone, tablet). This is ideal for real-time inventory management or POS transactions.
5.2 Modalità ta' Ħażna
Figure 7: Large Storage Capacity. The scanner is shown with an icon representing a floppy disk and "16M" text, indicating its 16MB storage capacity, capable of storing over 50,000 codes in storage working mode.
The scanner features 16MB of internal storage, capable of holding over 50,000 barcode entries. In storage mode, scanned data is saved internally and can be uploaded to your device later. This is useful when working out of range or when real-time transmission is not required.
5.3 Continuous Scanning Mode
Video 3: Continuous Scanning Mode. This video demonstrates the continuous scanning mode of the barcode scanner, showing how it can rapidly scan multiple barcodes without requiring repeated button presses, ideal for high-volume tasks.
To activate continuous scan mode, scan the corresponding barcode from the 'Solutions to Common Problems' section (see Section 7.1). In this mode, the scanner will continuously emit its laser, allowing for rapid scanning of multiple items without pressing the trigger for each scan.
