Conventions for Bar Codes

You can scan the bar codes listed in this manual to enter data or perform a command. The bar code labels in this manual are printed in the Code 39 symbology. Each bar code includes the name and human-readable interpretation. For example:

Change Configuration

 

Name

 

*$+*

 

 

Bar code (Code 39)

 

 

*$+*

 

 

 

Human-readable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

interpretation

243XU099.eps

The asterisks (*) at the beginning and end of the human-readable interpretation are the start and stop codes for a Code 39 bar code label. If you are using a bar code printing utility, it may automatically supply the asterisks as the start and stop code, so that you only need to type the actual text of the command. You can also create and print configuration labels and reader command labels in Code 93, which has its own start and stop codes.

Conventions for Software Screens and Messages

This manual includes illustrations that represent how the Trakker Antares 2430 and

2435 terminals display software screens and messages. Here are two examples:

MAIN MENU

Configuration Menu

Diagnostics Menu

System Menu

The TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System software screens are 16 lines by 20 characters (like the Main Menu screen example shown here). These screens are centered and formatted to fit on the 2430 and 2435 screens.
