Symbology Overview
This section provides a brief descriptions of each of the many symbol-
ogy features and options available.
Enable Code 39 - selects Code 39 as an active symbology and allows
selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop and Single Digit options.
Enable PharmaCode 39 - is a symbology subset of Code 39. Enabling
PharmaCode 39 allows the scanner to read both PharmaCode 39 and
Standard Code 39 labels.
Enable Code 128 - selects Code 128 as an active symbology. The scan-
ner is preset to recognize all Code 128 bar codes that have between
1 and 50 characters.
Enable UCC/EAN 128 - chooses EAN 128 as an active symbology. The
Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM
USA) have standardized the reporting of data sources from bar code
reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the
symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate
between UCC/EAN-128 (Code 128 with Function Character 1 in the
first position) and standard Code 128 symbols. When this feature is
disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.
Enable Interleaved 2 of 5 - selects Interleaved 2 of 5 as an active sym-
bology. Allows change of Check Digit or label format (fixed or variable
length) options.
Enable Codabar - selects Codabar as an active symbology. Allows
selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop character and format, or label for-
mat (fixed or variable length) options.
Enable UPC-A - enables UPC-A as an active symbology. If you enable
this symbology, additional options for symbology expansion and read-
ing add-ons are available.
Enable UPC-E - tells the scanner to recognize UPC-E as an active sym-
bology. Like UPC-A, UPC-E offers options for symbology expansion
and reading of add-ons.
NOTE
Standard Code 39 must be enabled before
PharmaCode can be enabled.
