The Code 39 symbology has the following programmable features:

•Check Digit

•Start/Stop Characters

•Code 39 Full ASCII

•Minimum Label Length

•Read Verification

•QuadraLogic Decoding

Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a Check Digit.

Start/Stop Characters selects either Send or Don’t Send depending on your host’s interface requirement.

Code 39 Full ASCII enables or disables the ability to decode Code 39 Full ASCII labels.

Minimum Label Length sets the minimum label length required for the Code 39 symbology. This feature causes the scanner to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

Read Verification is the number of times the scanner is required to read the bar code data before sending the label data to the host.

QuadraLogic Decoding directs the scanner to decode labels with widespread problems of spots, voids, and/or non-uniform widths.

To optimize your scanner’s performance activate this option only for symbologies for which it is necessary.

There are many additional ways to configure the scanner to read and decode extremely poor labels. Contact your sales representative or service provider for other advanced QuadraLogic Decoding settings.
