Codabar Options
The Codabar symbology has the following programmable features:
•Check Digit
•Gap Check
•Label Length Format
•Start/Stop Character
•Start/Stop Match
•Start/Stop Format
•Read Verification
•QuadraLogic Decoding
Check Digit Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify the label’s contents have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your labels must include a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit.
If the Check Digit is not calculated, the digit will be sent regardless of settings for transmit or don’t transmit. For example, if you choose to Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the label without verifying its accuracy.
Gap Check Disabling Gap Check allows the scanner to combine two label halves printed in close proximity to each other that may have been printed at different times and perhaps different locations.
Label Length Format
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 minimum label length to 50. 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 03 and 501.
Fixed length Format - directs the scanner to read only one or two label lengths.
1.For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read will vary depending upon the interface type, and bar code physical size and quality.
