Enable Code ID

This parameter programs the scanner to transmit the specified Code ID and/or determines the type of bar code identifier being processed.

Transmission of the Code ID is enabled at the scanner for all bar code symbologies, not for an individual symbology. Code ID is sent from the scanner so the scanner driver can discriminate between symbologies.

Options

•None: Programs an internal scanner to disable transmission of a code ID. After clicking the Symbology Settings button, the only entry on the Symbology listing is All, plus any configured custom IDs. Select this option to disable Code ID processing. The bar code data is received, but is not checked for a Code ID.

•AIM: Programs an internal scanner to transmit the AIM ID with each bar code. After clicking the Symbology Settings button, the Symbology listing includes all AIM ID symbologies plus any configured custom Code IDs. Select this option to enable processing of bar codes with an AIM or custom Code ID.

•Symbol: Programs an internal scanner to transmit the Symbol ID with each bar code. After clicking the Symbology Settings button, the Symbology listing includes all Symbol ID symbologies plus any configured custom Code IDs. Select this option to enable processing of bar codes with a Symbol or custom Code ID. Note that the Symbol entry may not appear for any device equipped with an integrated imager (e.g., EV-15 imager).

•Custom: Does not change the internal scanner’s Code ID transmission setting. After clicking the Symbology Settings button, the Symbology listing includes all Custom Code IDs. Select this option to enable processing of bar codes with a custom Code ID.
