Decoded (Intermec ISCP)

Reading Range

Determines the reading distance from which a bar code can be successfully scanned. The default setting, Extended, allows for increased reading distance.

Start/Stop Transmit

Setting this parameter to on enables the transmission of start and stop characters, which are usually not transmitted. Code 39 can start and end with either a * or a $ character (see also next parameter Accepted Start Char).

Accepted Start Char

This parameter allows the user the option of using one of the two start/stop characters or both ($ char, * char, $ and * char).

Check Digit Verification

Uses the specified algorithm of the option you've chosen to ensure the integrity of the symbol data before transmitting. If the data does not contain that algorithm, the data is not transmitted. The available options are: Disabled, MOD 43 Check, French CIP, or Italian CIP.

Notes: French CIP (French pharmaceutical) is only used with bar codes contain- ing 7 characters.

Italian CIP (Italian pharmaceutical) is also known as Code 32. It is trans- mitted as a standard Code 39 if checksum is not validated.

Transmit Check Digit

If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must be enabled.

Minimum Length

Minimum lengths for the bar code can be set from 0 to 255. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s).
