Codabar
D.3.11 Codabar
Enabled
Set this parameter to on to enable “Codabar”.
Start/Stop Transmit
Codabar can use the following sets of characters as start and stop characters:
a, b, c, d
A, B, C, D
a, b, c, d, /, t, n, *, e
DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4
Thus, when a set is chosen, the first and last digits of a Codabar message must be one of
those characters and the body of the message should not contain these characters. Setting
this parameter to Not Transmitted strips the start and stop characters from this bar code.
CLSI Library System
When enabled, spaces are inserted after characters 1, 5, 10 in the 14-character label (used in
the USA by libraries using the CLSI system).
Check Digit Verification
When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of a symbol to ensure it complies with a
specified algorithm – either USS (Uniform Symbology Specification) or OPCC (Optical
Product Code Council).
Transmit Check Digit
If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must be enabled.
Set Length L1, Set Length L2, And Set Length L3
Lengths for “Codabar” 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).
Double-tapping on these parameters displays dialog boxes where you can define the code
length that will be recognized by your scanner.
Length Mode
You can choose to set L1 as Minimum Length or L1,L2,L3 as Fixed Length.
