ASP Portable Barcode Reader
14
Displays stored barcode reads on the LCD display.
19
Erases storage memory (destroys memory contents).
20
Determines whether or not the time and date is stored in memory with each
barcode scan. Answer
YES
to store time and date, or
NO
not to. Note that
this function can work only if the Portable BCR is fitted with the extra-cost
clock/calendar option.
21
Allows the time and date to be set. This function prompts firstly for date in
the format
dd,mm,yy
where
dd
is the day of the month,
mm
is the month
and
yy
is the year; then for time in the format
hh,mm,ss
where
hh
is the
hour in 24 hour notation,
mm
is the minute and
ss
is the second. All
numbers must be two digits, using a leading zero if necessary. (For
example, 2:06 PM is entered as
14,06,00
.). To keep the currently set
time or date, just press the
ENTER
key instead of a new date or time. Note
that this function can work only if the Portable BCR is fitted with the extra-
cost clock/calendar option.
22
Displays the current time and date on the LCD screen. Note that this
function can work only if the Portable BCR is fitted with the extra-cost
clock/calendar option.
23
Displays the number of scans since storage memory was last erased.
24
Displays the number of data records stored in memory.
25
Allows a barcode "template" to be set, which is used to strictly define a
valid barcode symbol to the unit. The template is set as follows:
Enter
N
to define a numeric character only. Enter
Y
to define an alphabetic
character only. Enter
,
to define any character in that position. Any other
character entered requires that character to be present in that position for the
symbol to be acceptable.
For example, a template entered as
NNNN
would define a four digit numeric
only barcode as the only acceptable barcode to the reader. A template
entered as
YYYY
would define a barcode of four alphabetic (ie A - Z)
characters, and a template of
,,,,
would allow a barcode of any four
characters. These template characters can be combined - for instance, a
template of
Y1NNN
would only allow scans of barcodes that started with an
alphabetic character, with "1" as a second character, followed by three
numeric characters.
To remove a previously set template, simply press the
ENTER
key by itself
at the
Enter Template?
prompt.
Templates set from the keyboard are internally converted to a different
format, where the
#
character denotes numeric-only, the
!
character denotes
alpha-only and the
?
character denotes any character. This is for
conformity with other models of ASP barcode readers.
