Number of Symbols
Usage:
Commonly used in shipping applications where a shipping symbol con-
tains individual bar codes for part number, quantity, etc. This feature
allows one trigger to pick up all the symbols. AIAG and UCC/EAN-128 are
two application standards that address this need.

to be decoded and output.

1. All noread messages are posted at the end of the data string.
2. If more than one symbol is within the scan beam at the same time,
symbol data may not be displayed in the order of appearance.

Matchcode Type is set to Sequential or if Trigger is set to
Continuous Read 1 Output, Number of Symbols will default to
1 (if set to any number greater than 1).
4. The maximum number of characters in any one linear symbol is
128
.
5. The maximum number of output characters for all symbols is
3072
,
including separators, and optimal formatting.
Usage:
Commonly used where a shipping symbol contains individual symbols for
part number, quantity, etc. UCC/EAN-128 is an example of a symbology
that address this need.

bols that can be read in a single read cycle.
