ID # Paramet er Description
05 Code 39 full
ASCII
Supports the Code 39 extended ASCII character
set (refer to AppendixB on page 93). For example,
a character string encoded in Co de 39 as +A is

code.
06 Code 39

Treats multiple bar codes as a single bar code,
provided that all bar codes except the last begin
with a space. The last code must
not
begin with a
space. Up to 128 characters (not including
preamble, postamble, and symbology identifiers)
can be accumulated before transmission.
0B I 2 of 5
enable
checksum
Enables use of checksums in Interleaved 2 of 5 bar
codes. This parameter should be set to On to read
Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes.
33, 36 UPC
conversion
Converts UPC-A bar codes to EAN-13 (ID #33),
and converts UPC-E bar codes to UPC-A (ID #36).
3B–3E UPC/EAN/
JAN
extensions
Reads two-digit (ID #3C) and five-digit (ID #3D)
extensions if the portable is programmed to allow
them (ID #3B). Doesn’t read UPC, EAN, or JAN bar
codes if the portable is programmed to
require
extensions (ID #3E) and no extensions are present.
