When the bar code zone is first created, Capture Software searches the zone
for all bar code types. When successful, Capture Software sets the bar code
type to the one found. Otherwise, a bar code type is not selected.
There are two exceptions to this rule:
• For Code 39 Extended and Code 39 HIBC bar codes, Capture Software
may set the bar code type to Code 39. As a result, you may need to
manually select Code 39 Extended and Code 39 HIBC.
• For MSIPH bar codes, Capture Software may set the bar code type to MSI.
As a result, you may need to manually select MSIPH.
4. Check
Verify Checksum
if the bar code contains a checksum character.
Checksum characters help ensure the accuracy of bar code reading. Not
all bar code types support checksum verification. Bar code types that
optionally support checksum verification:
• Code 3 of 9
• CODABAR
• Interleaved 2 of 5
Some bar code types like PDF417, UPC and EAN have a built-in
checksum routine that cannot be disabled.
If you disable
Verify Checksum
for bar codes containing a checksum, the
checksum value (usually the last character of the bar code) will appear in
the bar code value; otherwise, the check digit will remain hidden.
If checksum verification fails during scanning, a bar code value is not
generated, causing Capture Software index field audits to fail.
NOTES: Choose one of the following
Orientation
options:
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Horizontal & Vertical
• Horizontal with Significant Skew
• Vertical with Significant Skew
• Horizontal & Vertical with Significant Skew
If your bar codes are all in the same orientation (i.e., all horizontal or all
vertical), it is recommended that you indicate the specific orientation; this
will increase bar code read performance.
NOTES: Significant Skew means more than 15 degrees of skew; enabling
this option slows down the reading process. The following shows
a 15° skewed bar code that still reads successfully without
enabling the
with Significant Skew
option.
If enabled in Page Setup, Capture Software will deskew the
image before reading the bar codes. Therefore,
Significant Skew
should never be used with pre-printed bar codes, but could be
used for bar code labels.
