So it’s very important before connecting a new scanner using Batch mode (and with datas in its
Batch memory) to check that the RS232 Plug & Scan is already configured in Batch mode, and not
in Real Time mode. So you have to respect the following process:
1) Associate the scanner to the RS232 Plug&Scan
2) Configure your scanner in Batch mode AFTER (by scanning the configuration barcodes

(see “Print Firmware Version” section for how to get the firmware version).
• If there is a lot of barcode
