DECODE

DECODE is the encoded information that appears on the verifier

display in a “human readable format.” The following constraints apply to the format of DECODE:

UPC and EAN must include the check digit and number system character or “flags” separated by “-”

UPC-A: X-XXXXXXXXXX-X

UPC-E: X-XXXXXX-X

EAN-8: X-XXXXXX-X

EAN-13: XX-XXXXXXXXXX-X

If applicable, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 11 and MSI should include proper check digits in parentheses.

Codabar and Code 39 should show applicable Start/Stop Characters. Codabar Start is represented by “A” and Stop by “B.” Code 39 Start and Stop are both represented by “*.”

MATCH

MATCH is the alternate message or database descriptor for the symbol and its encoded data. It should be a maximum of forty (40) characters.

The length of MATCH will affect the number of records (or items) that you can store in the database section of your verifier. For example, with a 40-character MATCH per record maximum, you can store one thousand records or items.

You can name your database in any manner, adding the extension .dat to the filename.

To load the database into the verifier:

1.Structure your database as described above.

2.Connect the verifier to your computer’s serial port using a PC Interface Cable (QCDB09F or QCDB25) and turn on the unit.
