Batch Mode Beep
When scanning in Inventory Batch Mode (page 101), the scanner beeps every time 
a bar code is scanned. When Batch Mode Beep is On, you will also hear a click when 
each bar code is sent to the host. If you do not want to hear these clicks, scan Batch 
Mode Beep Off. Default = Batch Mode Beep On.
Batch Mode Storage
When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can select 
whether the data is stored in Flash memory or in RAM. 
Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to 
powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner powers back up. How-
ever, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches a 
power down timeout or if the instant charge pack power is very low. 
RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has not 
been transmitted to the base, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if 
the scanner charge pack runs out of power, it will power down and the data will be 
lost.
Default = Flash Storage.

Batch Mode Quantity
When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple bar codes 
scanned, rather than a single bar code multiple times. For example, if you scan 
three bar codes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit your 
data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the 
Quantity Codes (page 103), you could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.
Note:If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the bar code 
data and the quantity, refer to Data Format beginning on page 165.
Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off. 
Enter Quantities
Quantity Codes (page 103) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned, 
up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits are shifted from right to left, so if a 5th digit 
is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits are 
moved to the left to accommodate the new digit. 
For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been set 
to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345.
Example:Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's bar code.
2. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

							Xenon/Granit User Guide 103Example:Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's bar code. 
2. Scan the quantity 1 bar code.
3. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.
4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.
5. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.
Example:Change a quantity of 103 to 10.
To correct an incorrect quantity, scan the quantity 0 bar code to replace the incor-
rect digits, then scan the correct quantity bar codes.
1. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 1030.
2. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0300.
3. Scan the quantity 1 bar code to change the quantity to 3001.
4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0010.
Default = 1.

If you want to delete the last bar code scanned when in Batch Mode, scan Delete 
Last Code.
Clear All Codes
If you want to clear the scanner’s buffer of all data accumulated in Batch Mode, 
scan Clear All Codes.
Transmit Records to Host
If you are operating in Inventory Batch Mode (see Inventory Batch Mode on page 
101), you must scan the following bar code to transmit all the stored data to the 
host system.
Batch Mode Transmit Delay
Sometimes when accumulated scans are sent to the host system, the transmission 
of those scans is too fast for the application to process. To program a transmit 
delay between accumulated scans, scan one of the following delays. Default = Off.
Note:In most cases, a short (250 ms (milliseconds)) delay is ideal, however, longer delays 
may be programmed. Contact Technical Support (page xvii) for additional 
information.

Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes. 
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_ XXXXXXXXXX” Per-
form the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 107, or by sending 
the serial command :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is 
the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the scanner. 
To rename scanners with sequential, numeric names, scan the bar codes below. 
Scan the Reset code after each name change and wait for the scanner to relink to 
the base before scanning a bar code to rename the next scanner.

scanner name. For example, if you wanted to name the linked scanner “312,” you 
would scan the bar code below, scan the 3, 1, and 2 bar codes on the Programming 
Chart, beginning on page 353, then Save. Scan the Reset bar code and wait for the 
scanner to relink to the base.  
Change the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code 
Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features. Your 
scanner’s default PIN is 1234, which you may need to enter the first time you con-
nect to your PC. The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters. To change the 
PIN, scan the bar code below and then scan the appropriate numeric bar codes 
from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 353, then Save.
Minimize Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity
The settings described below can help you customize the relinking behavior of the 
cordless area-imaging system to obtain the best compromise between conve-
nience and low interference.
Note:ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless networks, 
cordless phones, and Bluetooth.

Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the 
relink process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto Reconnect On 
bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without 
user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings: 
Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner 
tries to form a connection with a base. During the connection setup process, the 
scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base. In order to prevent 
continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, 
the number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum

Pressing the trigger or placing the scanner in the base resets the counter and the 
scanner will again try to link. 
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for 
the setting (from 0-100) from theProgramming Chart, beginning on page 353, 
then Save. Default = 4.
Note:When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause 
the scanner to try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting expires. When Auto 
Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the 
scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link 
a scanner to a base typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scan-
ner is actually attempting a contact. Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, 
in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start 
of the next.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the set-
ting (from 1-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 353, then 
Save. Default = 2 seconds.
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect 
to the base. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time fol-
lowed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch 
mode data is lost.
Example:Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base. 
Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 sec-
onds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner

Example:Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the trigger 
is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base. Each attempt consists of 
approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 
cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the 
base, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one 
hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect 
Mode, page 108, to review other events that can start the relink process.
Example:Auto Reconnect Mode set to 1
Maximum Link Attempts set to 0 
Relink Time-Out set to 10
Scanner Power Time-Out Timer set to 1800
Note:See Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 98.
The scanner attempts to connect to the base every 15 seconds, measured from one 
attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the scanner powers off.
Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar 
code data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner 
whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowl-
edgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable 
feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a num-
ber of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it 
behave in different ways.
Note:System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
• The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000) 
or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
• Host ACK must be set to On (page 111). 
• A comma must be used as a terminator.
• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, 
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape 
commands to the scanner.
