3.3.4. Options for Code 39 and It. Pharm.
Code 39:
Code 39 is a variable length symbology with an
optional check digit and printable start/stop
characters. The following characters are
supported:
• the digits 0 up to 9
• the upper case characters A up to Z
• the characters - . $ / + % SPACE
• start/stop character is *
The checksum is calculated as the sum modulo
43 of the numerical value of the data
characters. In full ASCII mode, all 128 ASCII
characters are supported. This is done by
combining one of the char, %, $ or /
with one of the alpha characters (A upto Z). For
string format see figure 3.20.
Italian Pharmaceutical:
In this mode the Code 39 data is translated to
the Italian pharmaceutical format. This format
has a fixed length containing 8 numeric data
values followed by a single mandatory check
digit. An optional leading 'A' can be transmitted.
For string format see figure 3.21.
Options for Code 39:
• enable full ASCII conversion
• enable Italian Pharmaceutical conversion
• enable check digit
• disable transmission of the check digit
• enable transmission of start/stop
• enable leading A for Italian Pharmaceutical
• selection of the minimum number of data
characters
Normal Code 39:
In this mode the decoded data characters are
transmitted without further translation.
Full ASCII Code 39:
In this mode the decoded data characters are
translated to full ASCII Code 39.
Full ASCII Code 39 if possible:
In this mode the decoded data characters are
translated to full ASCII Code 39. Invalid
combinations are not translated and are
transmitted as is.
Italian Pharmaceutical only:
In this mode the decoded data characters are
translated to the Italian Pharmaceutical format.
If the data does not comply with the Italian
Pharmaceutical format, the label is rejected.
Italian Pharmaceutical if possible:
In this mode the decoded data characters are
translated to the Italian Pharmaceutical format.
If the data does not comply with the Italian
Pharmaceutical format, then the data is
transmitted as Normal or full ASCII Code 39.
Tri-Optic:
This fixed length symbology builds its data out
of two data triplets, where the second triplet is
encoded at first. The following characters are
supported:
• the digits 0 up to 9
• the upper case characters A up to Z
• the characters - . / + % SPACE
• start/stop character is $
For string format see figure 3.22.
There are no options for Tri-Optic supported.
Concatenation:
If a Code 39 bar code contains a leading space,
the data is stored into the reader's buffer
without the leading space. As soon as a Code
39 bar code is read without a leading space,
the data is appended to the reader's buffer and
the entire buffer is transmitted and cleared for
new data. In case a non Code 39 bar code is
read, the data in the non-Code 39 bar code is
transmitted and the buffer is cleared. The buffer
size is reader dependent.
