General Features and Functions

Bar Code Recognition

The 7870 can recognize and read a number of bar codes including:

•	UPC-A	• Code 39 (Code 3 of 9)
•	UPC-E	•	Code 128
•	UPC-D (limited set)	• Interleaved 2 of 5
•	EAN-8/13	•	Add-On Codes

•JAN-8/13

It is possible that in some situations, the 7870 may be able to read more types of bar codes than the host terminal’s application program. In such a case, either the application program must be upgraded to read these bar codes or the 7870 must be told, using the Programming Tags (BST0-2121-74), to ignore the particular bar code type.
