A checksum will be added to the end of each data to conduct

Xor calculation. For Bluetooth SPP & USB-VCP, the BCC is 1 byte.

For Bluetooth HID, the BCC are 2 bytes.

Example:

The barcode data is “TEST” with terminator <CR><LF>

1. Bluetooth SPP & USB-VCP:

Data Format = <T> + <E> + <S> + <T> + <CR> + <LF> + <BCC>.

BCC = 54h ^ 45h ^ 53h ^ 54h ^ 0Dh ^ 0Ah = 11h

2. Bluetooth HID:

Data Format = <T> + <E> + <S> + <T> + <Enter> + <BCC>

BCC = 54h ^ 45h ^ 53h ^ 54h ^ E7h = F1h

However, since control character cannot be displayed in

Bluetooth HID, BCC will be converted into 2 bytes of characters.

As a result, the data will be: TEST + <Enter> + F + 1

In Batch Mode, data will be temporarily stored in memory buffer

(2KB RAM) when the scanner is out of range or in poor connection quality. Once the scanner gets back in range, the stored data will be sent back to the host immediately, which will also be erased in memory buffer at the same time.

Batch Mode can only function in the following conditions:

1. The scanner has been connected to a host device.

2. The scanner is NOT in Memory Mode.
