Barcode symbology Options
The configuration barcodes in the following section allow you to set
various options for individual barcode symbologies. Most options
should be clear, but a few need further explanation.
Setting min and max barcode length
The minimum and maximum length options can only be set
individually for each barcode symbology.
1. Scan the
Start Configuration
barcode at the top of the page.
2. Scan the
Set minimum length
or
Set maximum length
barcode
from the page for the required symbology.
3. Use the ASCII digits 0 to 9 from the
Full ASCII Code 39 Table
on
page 31 (in the right column) to set the length. For example, to set a
length of
6
, just scan the
ASCII 6 (hex code 36)
barcode. To set a
length of
14
, scan the
ASCII 1 (hex code 31)
then the
ASCII 4 (hex
code 34)
barcodes.
4. Scan the
Save minimum/maximum length setting
barcode.
5. Scan the
End Configuration
barcode at the bottom of the page.
Note: If you set the minimum and maximum lengths to the same value,
the scanner will
only
read barcodes of that length for that symbology
and
no others
.
Setting prefix and/or suffix characters
A common requirement is to add a prefix or a suffix to each barcode
scanned. Note that prefix and suffix characters are global – that is, they
affect all barcode symbologies at once.
1. Scan the
Start Configuration
barcode at the top of the page.
2. Scan the
Set prefix
or
Set suffix
barcode (on page 29).
3. Use the
Full ASCII Code 39 Table
on page 31 to set the prefix or
suffix char. For example, to set a
tilde ~
, scan the
ASCII ~ (hex
code 7E)
barcode from the end of the right column on page 33. Or,
to set a
tab
, scan the
HT Function key “TAB” (hex code 09)
barcode from the left column on page 30.
4. Scan the
Save prefix/suffix settings
barcode (on page 29).
5. Scan the
End Configuration
barcode at the bottom of the page.
