kind of undesired reading, the Code Length settings can help to insure that the correct code is read by qualifying the allowable code length. Code length parameters can be configured in two ways: Fixed Code Length or Max / Min code length. If the fixed code length is selected, up to 2 fixed lengths can be specified. And if max / min code length is selected, the max length and the min length must be specified, and the scanner will only accept those codes with lengths fall between max / min length specified.

4.4Codabar

Start/Stop Transmission: This parameter specifies whether the start/stop characters of Codabar are included in the data being transmitted.

Start / Stop Selection: Four different start / stop pairs can be selected as start / stop characters as listed below.

abcd / abcd abcd / tn*e

ABCD / ABCD ABCD / TN*E

4.5UPCE

System Number Selection: The UPCE comes with 2 options: System Number 0 and System Number 1. These two differ in the way data are encoded. The system number 1 is the new UPCE extension to the ordinary UPCE (system number 0). User can have the choice of enabling both system numbers, or just system number 0.

Warning: Because of the way system number 1 is encoded, if both system numbers are enabled, user might suffer from short scanning UPCA or EAN13 into UPCE system number 1 barcodes.

Convert to UPCA: If this parameter is enabled, the UPCE read will be expanded into UPCA, and the following processing will follow the parameters configured for UPCA.

System Number Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the system number will be included in the data being transmitted.

Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum character will be included in the data being transmitted.

4.6EAN8

Convert to EAN13: If this parameter is enabled, the EAN8 read will be expanded into EAN13, and the following processing will follow the parameters configured for EAN13.

Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum character will be included in the data being transmitted.

4.7UPCA

Convert to EAN13: If this parameter is enabled, the UPCA read will be expanded into EAN13, and the following processing will follow the parameters configured for EAN13.

System Number Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the system number will be included in the data being transmitted.

Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum character will be included in the data being transmitted.

4.8EAN13

ISBN / ISSN Conversion: If these parameters are enabled, the scanner will convert the code read into ISBN or ISSN code if the formats are correct (EAN13 codes start with 978 or 979 for ISBN, and 977 for ISSN).

Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum character will be included in the data being transmitted.

4.9MSI

Checksum Verification: Three kinds of checksum calculations can

be implemented into MSI code: Single Modulo 10, Double Modulo 10, or Modulo 11 & 10 checksum. If the checksum character is incorrect, the barcode will not be read.

Checksum Transmission: User can control how the checksum is transmitted by configuring this parameters.

1)Transmitted

2)Last digit not transmitted

3)Last 2 digits not transmitted

Code Length Qualification: Because of the weak structure of the MSI code, a partial scan has a high probability of decoding as a valid but shorter MSI codes (known as short scan). To prevent this kind of undesired readings, the Code Length settings can help to ensure that the correct code is read by qualifying the allowable code length. Code length limitations can be set in 2 ways: Fixed Code Length
