Unrecognized Symbols

You can use the “Unrecognized symbology” feature to analyze certain characteristics of bar code symbols that would otherwise be “unreadable” by a bar code scanning system.

If the unit cannot decode a symbol, verify that the symbology type you are attempting to read has not been turned off (disabled) in the Settings/Codes menu. If the unit cannot decode the symbol and the symbology is turned on, use the “Unrecognizable symbology” feature. To activate this feature, scan the Control Code Below. To deactivate this feature, scan this code again.

Notes:

1.The “Unrecognizable symbology” feature is volatile.

Turning the unit off and then on will also deactivate this feature.

2.When the “Unrecognizable symbology” feature is activated, the Quick Check 600/800 Verifier will attempt to analyze any group of 13 elements (7 bars) or more with the exception of SSTR Codes, Special Codes, Control Codes and Command Codes. Any printed pattern, including a partial scan of an otherwise “good” symbol may trigger analysis of a pattern, whether it is a readable symbol or not.

3.The “Unrecognized” report may display questionable scan results due to the loss of decode and symbol character structure information. Therefore, you should use extra care when analyzing results identified as “Unrecognized.”
