In buffered operation, the reader is usually connected to a port concentrator
through the modem port and to the terminal through the terminal port. The
reader emulates a smart terminal for batching transmissions to the host.
The reader buffers data from both the terminal and scanner, and then formats
and displays that data on the terminal screen. The reader echoes input from the
terminal until you send a command to transmit the data. The reader transmits
the data to the host when one of these events occurs:
• The reader receives a Transmit command.
• The reader scans a regular label.
• You press Enter from the terminal keyboard.
You can use host control characters to format the terminal screen and display
messages from the host. The terminal also displays communication
diagnostics.
