There are three function area types required for buffering. Even if a given implementation only plans to use one type of buffering we recommend that all three are added to allow for future requirements. This is only required when upgrading an existing implementation - the TransLution master database (TL_EasyScan) includes these as part of the initial setup.

 

The three function area types are:

 

  •        Buffer Directed – Scanner Function Number: 4
  •       Buffer Partial Directed – Scanner Function Number: 8
  •       Buffer Undirected – Scanner Function Number: 16

 

This is set up using the Function Area Type Maintenance form (Application Control - Function Area Type) as shown below
