Configuring Your Reader

Publication 2755-6.9

Narrow Margins

Allows the reader to read bar codes with quiet zones less than 10
times the narrow-bar-width. Quiet zone is a term used to describe
the minimum space at the leading and trailing ends of a label. Each
quiet zone can be as small as five times the narrow bar element when
Narrow Margins is enabled.

Symbology ID

The symbology ID is a string of 3 characters prefixed to label data
messages. The first character is ]. The ] symbol is used whenever
the option is enabled. The second character indicates the label type.
Refer to the first table below for the label types. The third character
is the sum of the applicable option values per symbology used.

For example, you have code 39 with no character check and data is
1234. When symbology ID is disabled, the result is 1234. When the
symbology ID is enabled, the result is ]A01234.
