Configuring Coda bar Ba r Codes
Codabar is a linear one-dimensional bar code. Use the
Printer Setup Application
to configure
the D 2of5 (Discrete 2of5) bar code scanner options below.
Select
To
Enabled
Allows the scanner to scan Codabar bar codes.
NOTISEdit
Tells the scanner to strip the start and stop characters from scanned
Codabar bar codes.
CLSIEdit
Tells the scanner to strip the start and stop characters from 14-character
Codabar bar codes and insert spaces after the first, fifth, and tenth
characters. The 14-character length does not include start and stop
characters.
Length 1
Length 2
Sets the length(s) for Codabar bar codes. Lengths include check digits.
For variable length bar codes, set both Length 1 and Length 2 to 0.
For a variable range, set Length 1 to the lower limit and Length 2 to the
upper limit. Specifying a range of lengths increases the likelihood of
unsuccessful scans.
For one fixed length bar codes, set both Length 1 and Length 2 to the
same length. This specifies a single length for valid bar codes.
For two fixed length bar codes, set Length 2 to the shorter length and
Length 1 as the longer length.
The range for Length 1 is 0 to 99. The default is 5.
The range for Length 2 is 0 to 99. The default is 55.
Configuring MSI Bar Codes
MSI is a linear bar code for numeric data. Use the
Printer Setup Application
to configure the
MSI (Modified Plessey) bar code scanner options below.
Select
To
Enabled
Allows the scanner to scan MSI bar codes.
Use 2 Check
Digits
Tells the number of check digits that MSI bar codes should have. Check
digits are not always returned with the data. If you choose two check
digits, you must choose a check digit algorithm.
Transmit
Check Digit
Tells the scanner to return the check digit with the data when an MSI bar
code is scanned.
Mod 10/11
Check Digit
Scheme
Tells which algorithm to use to ensure the integrity of a two-check digit
MSI bar code.
Length 1
Length 2
Sets the length(s) for MSI bar codes. Lengths include check digits.
For variable length bar codes, set both Length 1 and Length 2 to 0.
For a variable range, set Length 1 to the lower limit and Length 2 to the
upper limit. Specifying a range of lengths increases the likelihood of
unsuccessful scans.
For one fixed length bar codes, set both Length 1 and Length 2 to the
same length. This specifies a single length for valid bar codes.
For two fixed length bar codes, set Length 2 to the shorter length and
Length 1 as the longer length.
The range for Length 1 is 0 to 99. The default is 6.
The range for Length 2 is 0 to 99. The default is 55.
