The external scanner operation cannot be controlled by the MX9 scanner driver; therefore, a ‘good’ beep may be sounded from the external scanner even if a bar code from an external scanner is rejected because of the configuration specified. The MX9 will still generate a ‘bad’ scan beep, to indicate the bar code has been rejected.

Enable Code ID Buttons

Symbology Settings

Individually enable or disable a bar code from being scanned, set the minimum and maximum size bar code to accept, strip Code ID, strip data from the beginning or end of a bar code, or (based on configurable Barcode Data) add a prefix or suffix to a bar code before transmission.

Ctrl Char Mapping

Define the operations the Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20) embedded in bar codes.

Custom Identifiers

Defines an identifier that is at the beginning of bar code data which acts as a Code ID. After a Custom Identifier is defined, Symbology Settings can be defined for the identifier just like standard Code IDs.

HHP Properties

Set properties for a Hand Held Products imager including centering, mode, range, AIM timer and light behavior. Note that the HHP Properties button is only present if the MX9 is equipped with a Hand Held Products imager.

Symbology Settings

The Symbology selected in the Symbology drop down list defines the symbology for which the data is being configured. The features available on the Symbology panel include the ability to

individually enable or disable a bar code from scanning,

set the minimum and maximum size bar code to accept,

strip Code ID,

strip data from the beginning or end of a bar code,

or (based on configurable Barcode Data) add a prefix or suffix to a bar code.

The Code ID drop down box only filters the available symbologies in the Symbology drop down box by the selected Code ID. This Code ID box does not enable or disable the Code ID as that function is controlled by the Enable Code ID box on the Data Options tab.

The Symbology drop down box contains all symbologies supported by the device selected on the Main tab. An asterisk appears in front of symbologies that have already been configured or have been modified from the default value.
