Redundancy: This option requires two identical scans of a bar code, one right after another, before the hand-held com- puter accepts the scan as valid.

Mod 10 Check: When you select this option, a check digit is added at the end of the bar code after a good read. This is a variation of the modulus 10 formula and is used infre- quently.

For additional information on Mod10, refer to the book PEN*KEYR 6400 Programmers Reference Guide p/n:

977-054-004.

Concatenate: Each bar code read is added to the end of the previous bar code read until the computer meets a condition that forces transmission to the host.

When this option is OFF, each bar code read is placed at the beginning of the current input field. After a bar code is placed in a field, any subsequent read replaces the first read.

BC Type Char: This option adds a character associated with the bar code type at the beginning of the scanned bar code.

Stream Scan: If the scanned bar code is too big for the input field, the overflow information appears in the next field. This continues until the entire bar code is entered.
