Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming barcodes for
selecting these features.
The device is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table. If the
default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
There are two ways to change a parameter value:

Scan the appropriate barcodes in this guide. These new values replace the
standard default values in memory.

For serial hosts, send a “parameter send” command from the host system.
For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming
command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode in this manual.
Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the barcodes directly on the screen.
When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level
where the barcode can be seen clearly and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
Message Length
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters),
including check digit(s) the code contains.
To set the length of a barcode symbology:
1.
Scan the “Minimum” or “Maximum” barcode to enter program mode.
2. Scan the digit(s) from the ASCII table in Appendix.
3. Scan “Save” to save the change.
Note: When setting lengths for different barcode types by scanning single digit numbers,
single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.
