o The Start and Stop character for Code 39 is the * character. Setting 4 determines whether or not those characters are transmitted
to the computer along with the data. For example, at setting ON, the data of 1234 would be transmitted as *1234*. Transmitting
the start and stop characters can be useful if you need to differentiate between data that comes from a bar code versus data coming
from the keypad.
o Enabling use of the Mod 43 check character requires that the last character of your bar code conform to the Mod 43 check
character specifications. See Appendix F: Code 39 for more information. Enable transmission (6) will send the check digit data
along with the rest of the bar code data to your computer. To use 6, you must also be using 5.
o Caps Lock ON causes lower case letters read as data to be transmitted to the computer as UPPER CASE, and upper case letters to
be transmitted as LOWER CASE. Numbers, punctuation and control characters are not affected. Caps Lock OFF means that
letters will be transmitted exactly as read. This setting applies to all bar code types.
o See Appendix F: Code 39 for more information regarding Accumulate Mode.
o Decode Option is used to allow reading of Code 39 bar codes through a windshield. Setting this option to 1 will loosen up the
decoder a little and option 2 will loosen up the decoder a bit more. This should be used with caution since using a looser decoder
can cause substitutions.
