Table 4-1 describes some of the general parameters for programming the PT2000 or TopGun. For descriptions of serial parameters, refer to Table 4-2. For a complete list of parameters and defaults, refer to Appendix A.

Table 4-1: Selected Programming Parameters

ID #

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

05

Code 39 full

Supports the Code 39 extended ASCII character

 

ASCII

set (refer to Appendix B on page 93). For example,

 

 

a character string encoded in Code 39 as +A is

 

 

transmitted as a lowercase a. This allows every key

 

 

of the keyboard to be encoded in a Code 39 bar

 

 

code.

 

 

 

06

Code 39

Treats multiple bar codes as a single bar code,

 

accumulate

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

Enables use of checksums in Interleaved 2 of 5 bar

 

enable

codes. This parameter should be set to On to read

 

checksum

Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes.

 

 

 

33, 36

UPC

Converts UPC-A bar codes to EAN-13 (ID #33),

 

conversion

and converts UPC-E bar codes to UPC-A (ID #36).

 

 

 

3B–3E

UPC/EAN/

Reads two-digit (ID #3C) and five-digit (ID #3D)

 

JAN

extensions if the portable is programmed to allow

 

extensions

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.
