7.8 Multi-line Barcode Scanning
The scanner can scan up to 3 lines of bar codes in the readable area at any one time. You can specify the number of
lines to scan, the data output order and output format using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
7.8.1 Number of lines
The number of lines allowed for multi-line barcode scanning is 2 or 3. This setting is essential.
7.8.2 Data output order
You can specify the data output order by designating code types*
1
, heading characters*
2
, or the number of digits to
scan*
3
.
*
1
Code types should be selected from readable bar codes you enable. This setting is essential.
*
2
Up to two heading characters can be specified. If a question mark (?) is specified, it acts as a wild card. This setting
can be omitted.
*
3
The number of digits to scan varies depending upon the code type. This setting is essential.
7.8.3 Output
format
You may select either the header/terminator- or comma-delimited output format.
(1) Header/terminator-delimited output format
Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data in succession in the data
transmission format selected (see Section 9.2) so that the headers and terminators act as delimiters. For UPC and EAN
codes, the number of digits will be omitted.
(2) Comma-delimited output format
Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data delimited with commas in the data
transmission format selected (see Section 9.2). Note that the scanner outputs the code ID mark specified for the first
line barcode and the number of digits including the delimiter commas. The number of digits will not be omitted even
for UPC and EAN codes.
Note 1:
Bar code types specified for multi-line barcode scanning cannot be read individually.
Note 2:
In the point scan mode or barcode reader mode, the scanning conditions specified for multi-line barcode
scanning are invalid so that the scanner scans codes individually.
Note 3:
The scanner cannot read multi-line barcodes of UPC/EAN with add-on.
Note 4:
If linear components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol are specified for multi-line barcode scanning, all
EAN.UCC Composite symbols including the specified linear components cannot be read.
7.9 Scanning an SQRC (Security QR Code) Symbol
SQRC is a QR code with scanning restrictions. SQRC comes in the form of disclosed and undisclosed data. Scanning
of undisclosed data is possible only if the encryption key set in the scanner matches. In order to perform SQRC
scanning, it is necessary to either permit scanning of SQRC only, or to permit scanning of SQRC and QR codes.
(Note)
With the SQRC scanning enabled, the parameters for “Encryption key mismatch” and “Encryption key match” can be
selected with the configuration software.
Note:
Encryption key setting is necessary in order to perform SQRC scanning. In order to set an encryption key(s),
dedicated SQRC scan setting software (SQRC Setting) is required.
