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.
