Symbology Overview

This section provides a brief descriptions of each of the many symbol- ogy features and options available.

Enable Code 39 - selects Code 39 as an active symbology and allows selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop and Single Digit options.

Enable PharmaCode 39 - is a symbology subset of Code 39. Enabling

PharmaCode 39 allows the scanner to read both PharmaCode 39 and

Standard Code 39 labels.

Standard Code 39 must be enabled before

PharmaCode can be enabled.

NOTE

Enable Code 128 - selects Code 128 as an active symbology. The scanner is preset to recognize all Code 128 bar codes that have between

1 and 50 characters.

Enable UCC/EAN 128 - chooses EAN 128 as an active symbology. The Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM USA) have standardized the reporting of data sources from bar code reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate between UCC/EAN-128 (Code 128 with Function Character 1 in the first position) and standard Code 128 symbols. When this feature is disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.

Enable Interleaved 2 of 5 - selects Interleaved 2 of 5 as an active sym- bology. Allows change of Check Digit or label format (fixed or variable length) options.

Enable Codabar - selects Codabar as an active symbology. Allows selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop character and format, or label format (fixed or variable length) options.

Enable UPC-A- enables UPC-A as an active symbology. If you enable this symbology, additional options for symbology expansion and reading add-ons are available.

Enable UPC-E- tells the scanner to recognize UPC-E as an active sym- bology. Like UPC-A, UPC-E offers options for symbology expansion and reading of add-ons.
