Worth Data RF Laser user manual Data Length, Beep Options, Preamble

2 of 5 Data Length

2 of 5 Code is so susceptible to interpreting partial scans as valid reads that the RF Laser uses fixed-length data as a safeguard. To choose a data length, scan it as a two-digit number using the Barpad Table. For example, to select 8-digit data length, you would scan a 0 and then an 8. Because Interleaved 2 of 5 is required to be an even number of digits in length, you must use an even number. If you're unsure of your bar code length, temporarily set the length to 00, read a bar code, and count its digits and then set it to the actual length. DO NOT PERMANENTLY SET THE 2 of 5

LENGTH TO 00 or you will get misreads!

Terminator characters (This applies to the BASE only)

CR (Enter)	0
Tab	1
None	2

Depending on your application, you may wish your RF Laser to transmit bar code data to your computer with an Enter (carriage return), a Tab at the end, or with no extra terminating character at all.

If you need a terminator character other than CR or TAB, you can get it by specifying None here and then selecting your desired terminator character(s) specified in the Postamble (See Page 15).

Preamble

A "Preamble" is a user-specified data string transmitted at the beginning of each bar code. For example, if you specify the preamble @@ and read data of 123456, "@@123456" would be transmitted to your computer.
