Concatenating configuration bar codes
What is a configuration bar code?
All the configuration codes in this Reference Manual are Code 128
bar codes with a special terminator character—FNC3, data string
\60—to indicate that the code is a configuration code.
Why concatenate?
In order to configure the MicroBar NX for a given installation, you
may need to read a number of configuration codes one after the
other—and you may need to do this for each MicroBar NX you have
to install and set up.
Many of the configuration bar codes in this manual can be
concatenated (combined) to form a single custom bar code which
corresponds to your own particular setup configuration—you then
only need to read 1 or 2 concatenated codes instead of a whole series
of codes.
Limitations
Do not create concatenated codes wider than the maximum reading width of your bar
code reader.
If you need to create more than one code for a series of configuration codes, always
end each concatenated code with a complete configuration code—not a partial
code—and the FNC3 terminator.
You can not concatenate configuration codes that use the Number codes to compose
numerical values.
How to concatenate
1. Identify the list of codes you want to concatenate and the order of
concatenation—the codes should be concatenated in the same order as
you would read them individually.
Example
If you need to enter Reset Factory Defaults, put this code at the beginning.
