INDUSTRIAL CODE OUTPUT FORMATS
Code 39
Code 128
Interleaved 2 of 5
bSXX XXCS . .
jXX XX . . . .
eXX XXC . . .
Where: b = Code 39 ID
j = Code 128 ID
e = Interleaved 2 or 5 ID
S = Start/Stop Character
X = Data Character
C = Check Character
Note: Appropriate code identification must be programmed in a prefix. For
maximum data security, disable the codes not used.
MIN/MAX LENGTH FOR ALL SYMBOLOGIES
This selection is used to set the valid reading length of the bar code. If the data
length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the 8300
will issue an error code. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and
maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This
helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9–20 characters.
Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15

Start/Stop Transmit
Check Character Required
Transmit Check Character
Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. You
may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters.
When this feature is set to “Yes,” the 8300 will not read a Code 39 bar code
printed without the check character.
When this feature is set to “Yes,” the 8300 transmits the bar code check
character at the end of the scanned data.
