Data Options - Symbology Settings
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Data Collection > Data Options tab > Symbology Settings button
The Symbology selected in the Symbology drop-down list defines the symbology for which the data is being con-
figured. The features available on the Symbology panel include the ability to
• individually enable or disable a bar code from scanning,
• set the minimum and maximum size bar code to accept,
• strip Code ID,
• strip data from the beginning or end of a bar code,
• or (based on configurable Bar Code Data) add a prefix or suffix to a bar code.
None Disables transmission of a Code ID. The only entry in the Symbology combo box is All.
Custom ID Does not change the scanner’s Code ID transmission setting. The combo box in the Symbology con-
trol panel is populated with any configured Custom code IDs.
Symbology Settings Individually enable or disable a bar code from being scanned, set the minimum and maxi-
mum size bar code to accept, strip Code ID, strip data from the beginning or end of a bar
code, or (based on configurable Bar Code Data) add a prefix or suffix to a bar code before
transmission.
Ctrl Char Mapping Define the operations the Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20)
embedded in bar codes.
Custom Identifiers Defines an identifier that is at the beginning of bar code data which acts as a Code ID. After
a Custom Identifier is defined, Symbology Settings can be defined for the identifier just like
standard Code IDs.
