Barcode – Custom Identifiers
Code IDs can be defined by the user. This allows processing parameters to be configured for
barcodes that do not use the standard AIM or Symbol IDs or for barcodes that have data embedded
at the beginning of the data that acts like a Code ID.
These are called custom code IDs and are included in the Symbology drop down box in the
Symbology dialog, unless Enable Code ID is set to None. When the custom code ID is found in a
barcode, the configuration specified for the custom Code ID is applied to the barcode data. The
dialog below allows the custom Code IDs to be configured.
It is intended that custom code IDs are used to supplement the list of standard code IDs (if Enable
Code ID is set to AIM or Symbol), or to replace the list of standard code IDs (if Enable Code ID is
set to Custom).
When Enable Code ID is set to None, custom code IDs are ignored.
Note: Custom symbologies will appear at the end of the list in the Symbology dialog, and are
processed at the beginning of the list in the scanner driver itself. This allows custom IDs
based on actual code IDs to be processed before the code ID itself.
Note: When Strip: Code ID is enabled, the entire custom Code ID string is stripped (i.e.,
treated as a Code ID).

user-friendly manner. Both Name and ID Code must be specified in order to add a
custom Code ID to the Custom IDs list.
ID

ID Code defines the data at the beginning of a barcode that acts as an identifier (the
actual Code ID). Both Name and ID Code must be specified in order to add a custom
Code ID to the Custom IDs list.
