Read Verification

Check Digit calculates the Check Digit(s) to verify the labels contents have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must include a Check Digit(s). You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit(s).

Check Digit Calculation - enables or disables calculation of the Check Digit(s).

Transmit Check Digit - enables or disables transmission of MSI/Plessey Check Digit(s).

Number of Check Digits - specifies either one or two Check Digits.

Label length format permits the selection between variable length or fixed length formats. For best performance it is recomended to use the Fixed Length settings when your application requires only one or two label lengths.

Variable Length Format - directs the scanner to read all labels from the minimum label length to 16. Set Minimum Length as high as your application allows.

Minimum Label Length - selects the minimum label length that the scanner will recognize. The minimum label length for this symbology must be between 04 and 16.

Fixed Length Format - directs the scanner to read only one or two label lengths.

If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for programming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The labels are:

Set First Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next two programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label length. This setting must be between 04 and 16 characters.
