- ===USB Flash Disk Mode===   + ===Batch Mode===  
- This mode is also referred to as USB-MSD mode. The Firmware: Storage Application must be loaded on the PX20 in order to enable this mode of operation. To install the Storage Application, follow these [[#Firmware_Loading|firmware loading]] instructions. Once the storage application is loaded, print and scan [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=Fi&a=4&b=0&d=1 this] sheet of barcodes to configure the device to act as a flash disk.   + This will make the scanner memorize the data and store it temporarily until the transmit data barcode is scanned  
       
- Once that's finished, scanning barcodes is as simple as pressing a button. When you want to download your barcode scans, plug the PX20 into a computer, and copy the text file out of the flash drive. For more configuration options, see the [[#Documents|User Manual: Storage Application]]. In particular, the very last page has barcodes which can be scanned to configure the layout of the text file.   + *To put the PX20 in batch mode, Scan the +-MSTR-+ barcode.
