Explanation about how to calculate the number of codes that a Cordless scanner can store in Batch Mode
Batch Mode – Barcodes Storage
Last Update 10/5/21 SLR
This formula can help you on calculating the number of codes that can be stored into the Batch Mode memory.
You have to consider the available memory space of each product and add an overhead of some bytes to the number of characters of the barcode.
Y = M / (X + O)
Y= number barcodes that can be stored in memory
M = memory size available (bytes)
X = number of digits of the barcode
O = overhead
| Products | Memory Size (M) | Overhead (O) |
| QuickScan Mobile | 960 bytes | 30 bytes |
| QuickScan QM2400 | 65 Kbytes | 11 bytes |
| QuickScan QBT2100 | ||
| Gryphon BT (shared) | ~ 2 K bytes | 30 bytes |
| Gryphon GM4100 | 64 Kbytes | 14 bytes |
| Gryphon GBT4100(normal batch) | 64 Kbytes | 14 bytes |
| Gryphon GBT4100(auto batch) | 800 bytes | 14 bytes |
| Gryphon GBT4400 (auto batch) | 65 Kbytes | 11 bytes |
| Gryphon GBT4500 | 64Kbytes | 14 bytes |
| Gryphon GBT4200 | 64Kbytes | 14 bytes |
| Gryphon GM4200 | 64Kbytes | 14 bytes |
| Dragon M 131 | 960 bytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan BT7100 (normal batch) | 64 Kbytes | 14 bytes |
| Powerscan BT7100 (auto batch) | 800 bytes | 14 bytes |
| Powerscan M8300 | 12.8 Kbytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan M8300 DK 1 | 12.8 Kbytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan M8300 DK 2 | 1 Mbyte | n/a |
| Powerscan M8500 1 | 12.8 Kbytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan M8500 2 | 1 Mbyte | n/a |
| Lynx BT | 64 Kbytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan BT8300 | 5 Kbytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan BT8300 DK 1 | 5 Kbytes | 30 bytes |
| Powerscan BT8300 DK 2 | 1Mbyte | n/a |
| Powerscan BT9500/M9500 | 64K | 12 bytes |
Note: 1 Kbyte = 1024 bytes.
1 Automatic Batch mode (RAM)
2 Normal Batch mode (Flash) = 2048 records (fixed as 240 bytes each)
Example 1:
Barcode is EAN-13 and product is the PowerScan M8300:
M = 13107 bytes (12.8 x 1024)
X = 13 digits
Y = 13107 / (13 + 30) Ã Y= 304 EAN-13 barcodes.
Example 2:
Using a PowerScan M8300 DK and EAN-13 codes with the option of quantity/code enabled. Will total 19 bytes for each record (13 digits of the EAN-13 and 6 for the other elements of the record) as described below:
@@ Ã Header of the record
1 Ã Quantity of code
= Ã Separator between Quantity and code
8012345000012 Ã Barcode of data
## Ã Terminator of the record
The calculation is:
M = 13107 bytes (12.8 x 1024)
X = 19 digits
O = 30 bytes
Y = 13107 / (19 + 30) Ã Y = 267 EAN-13 barcodes
