Symbologies

GTIN

The following options apply to the GTIN label data format.

Disable/Enable GTIN

When this feature is enabled, the imager will translate UPC/EAN labels to the 14 digit GTIN format.

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans- mitted GTIN bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the GTIN Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1.Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent the GTIN symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac- ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “G” to represent GTIN. The value from the table corresponding to ‘G’ is 47. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2.Scan the START bar code

3.Scan the SET UPC-A CODE I.D. bar code.

4.Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’ and ‘7’ (the value 47 determined in an earlier step to represent a Code I.D. of ‘G’).

5.Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6.Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI- TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are universal and will affect all symbologies.

NOTE

7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
