Match Code Type
Disabled
Disabled has no effect on operations.
Enabled
Instructs the scanner to compare labels or portions of labels with the master label.
Sequential Matching
Instructs the scanner to compare labels or portions of labels for sequential numbers in
ascending or descending order and to sequence on noread or mismatch.
Wild Card
Allows you to enter user defined wild card characters in the master label.
For example, with wild card defined as the default asterisk, entering URGENT** as
your master label will result in matches for URGENT, URGENT1, and URGENT12 but
not for URGENT123.
As in the above example, when wild cards are appended to the end of the master
label, labels of variable lengths can result in matches. However, wild cards in the
beginning or center of a label (e.g., UR**NT) do not allow for variable label lengths.
Wild Card Character
Default:
*
(asterisk)
Options: Any ASCII character
Allows you to define the wild card character that can be used when defining a master
label.
Match Start Position
Default:
0
Options: 0
to
2045
Match Start Position must be set to 1 or greater to enable this feature.
Defines the first character in the label (from left to right) that will be compared with
those of the master label when Match Code Type is set to Enabled or Sequential. For
example, if you set Match Start Position to 3, the first 2 characters read in the label
will be ignored and only the 3rd and subsequent characters to the right will be com-
pared, up to the number of characters specified by Match Length.
