Length Based Barcode Stripping Examples
Use this procedure to create symbology rules for two barcodes with the same symbology but with
different lengths.
Note: The barcode length must be a discrete length, not a range of lengths.
Example 1:
•
A normal AIM or Symbol symbology role can be created for the desired barcode ID.
•
Next, a custom barcode symbology must be created using the same Code ID as the original
AIM or Symbol ID rule and each rule would have unique length settings.
Example 2:
For the purposes of this example, the following sample barcode parameters will be used –
EAN128 and Code128 barcodes. Some of the barcodes start with ‘00’ and some start with ‘01’.
The barcodes are different lengths.
•
34 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 18)
•
26 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 10)
•
24 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 8). This 24
character barcode is CODE128.
•
20 character length with first two characters = “00” (strip first 0 (no characters) and last 4)
On the Barcode tab, set Enable Code ID to AIM.
Create four custom IDs, using 1 for EAN128 barcode and 0 for Code128 barcode.
•
c1 = Code = ‘]C1’
•
c2 = Code = ‘]C1’
•
c3 = Code = ‘]C0’ (24 character barcode is CODE128)
•
c4 = Code = ‘]C1’
