Scan Options

Redundancy: This option requires two identical scans of a

bar code, one right after another, before the hand-held com-

puter accepts the scan as valid.
Mod 10 Check: When you select this option, a check digit

is added at the end of the bar code after a good read. This is

a variation of the modulus 10 formula and is used infre-

quently.
For additional information on Mod10, refer to the book

Concatenate: Each bar code read is added to the end of

the previous bar code read until the computer meets a

condition that forces transmission to the host.
When this option is OFF, each bar code read is placed at the

beginning of the current input field. After a bar code is

placed in a field, any subsequent read replaces the first

read.
BC Type Char: This option adds a character associated

with the bar code type at the beginning of the scanned bar

code.
Stream Scan: If the scanned bar code is too big for the

input field, the overflow information appears in the next

field. This continues until the entire bar code is entered.
