Symbology, I.D. and Code Length
Useful information, such as the scanned bar code’s symbology type, code
I.D. and character length can all be variously added to the message
string. The following are descriptions for each of these elements:
Symbology —
This function is used to identify and display the
scanned bar code's symbology name (from among any of the symbolo-
gies readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology)
will be transmitted in a position before the bar code data.
Code I.D. —
The Code I.D. is an alpha-numeric code representing the
bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to and/or fol-
lowing the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this feature is
enabled.
In addition to message string positioning (before or after bar code data),
options for this feature include:
•Disable
• Proprietary I.D. — Symbologies are identified by an associated
alpha-numeric code developed by the manufacturer.
• AIM I.D. — Symbologies are identified by a standardized alpha-
numeric code list established by AIM (Association for Automatic
Identification and Mobility).
Code Length —
When enabled, this feature will calculate the total
character length of the scanned bar code (minus truncated leading or
ending digits) and transmit this information just previous to the actual
scanned data.
NOTE
An extra step is required in enabling this feature. Selec-
tion of Code I.D. Positon (either before or after bar code
data) must be made PRIOR to selecting either Propri-
etary or AIM I.D.
