CODABAR: Concatenate: OFF <> 
The American Blood Commission (ABC) adopted a convention for concatenating data from adjacent symbols. This convention,
often referred to as "ABC Codabar," uses a "D" stop character to indicate that data from that symbol should be concatenated
with data from an adjacent symbol with a "D" start character. Use this option to enable or disable the ABC convention.
CODABAR: Maximum Length: 62
<>
CODABAR: Minimum Length: 1 <> 
Use these options to configure the minimum and maximum lengths of CODABAR bar codes that can be read. If you configure
the Maximum Length to 10 characters and the Minimum Length to 5 characters, the decoder will not read CODABAR bar codes
with less than 5 characters and more than 10 characters. When calculating length requirements, do not include any Start/Stop
characters.
<>
CODABAR: Type ID: k DEC 107 HEX 6B ASCII ALT 
Use this option to configure the Type ID for the CODABAR bar code. Type ID's can be transmitted as a prefix or a suffix to the
bar code data, for more information see OTHER: Send Bar Code Type ID on page 18.
CODABAR: Laser/CCD Redundancy: OFF
<> 
Use this option to control the Laser/CCD redundancy for CODABAR bar codes. This option provides additional security when
scanning poorly printed or damaged bar codes.
Note: Using this option does not require you to physically read the same bar code twice to get a good read. The scanner
continuously sweeps across the bar code the number of times necessary when this mode is enabled, therefore requiring no
additional operator intervention.
 
Select Option Group: CODE 93 GROUP
Select this option group to modify the individual settings for the CODE 93 decoder. Once you have selected this option group,
you may cursor down to configure each of the following decoder options.
CODE 93: Decoder: ON
<> 
Use this option to enable or disable the CODE 93 decoder. The default for this option is ON.
CODE 93: Append Mode: OFF
<> 
It is sometimes advantageous to break up long messages into multiple, shorter symbols. If the first data character of a CODE
93 bar code is a SPACE, the decoder may be programmed to append the data following the space to a concatenation buffer.
Each time a CODE 93 bar code with a leading space is read, the decoder will sound two short beeps to indicated it has
appended the bar code to the concatenation buffer. This operation continues for all successive CODE 93 bar codes with a
leading SPACE. When a CODE 93 bar code is read which does not contain a leading SPACE, the contents are appended to
the buffer, the entire buffer is transmitted, and the buffer is cleared. Use this option to enable the message append mode of the
decoder.
Note: If you scan a bar code from a different symbology the data in the concatenation buffer will be discarded and the bar
code just read will be output.
Note: If you scan a bar code that begins with a - (dash), the concatenation buffer will be cleared and no data will be output.
CODE 93: Maximum Length: 81
<>
CODE 93: Minimum Length: 0 <> 
Use these options to configure the minimum and maximum lengths of CODE 93 bar codes that can be read. If you configure
the Maximum Length to 10 characters and the Minimum Length to 5 characters, the decoder will not read CODE 93 bar codes
with less than 5 characters and more than 10 characters.
<>
CODE 93: Type ID: h DEC 104 HEX 68 ASCII ALT 
Use this option to configure the Type ID for the CODE 93 bar code. Type ID's can be transmitted as a prefix or a suffix to the
bar code data, for more information see OTHER: Send Bar Code Type ID on page 18.
