Minimum and Maximum Length Options
You can set minimum and maximum length standards for a particular bar
code symbology. (You cannot set a minimum or maximum length for a
retail bar code.)
Minimum length sets the minimum number of data characters that will
be accepted for this symbology. If the minimum length is set higher
than the maximum length, all readings will be rejected.
Maximum length sets the maximum number of data characters that will
be accepted for this symbology. If the maximum length is set lower than
the minimum length, all readings will be rejected.
1. Enter the characters for the symbology (such as F4<ENTER> for
Code 128).
2. Enter FU<ENTER> for minimum or FV<ENTER> for maximum.
3. Enter one digit<ENTER>one digit <ENTER> from the keyboard. (The
range is 01 to 60).
Code 39 Settings:
Enable/Disable Code 39
If enabled, Code 39 symbology will be read, subject to the reading
restrictions specified by this set of options. If disabled, the data from
the symbology will be disregarded.
F1<ENTER>A for Code 39 Enable
F1<ENTER>B for Code 39 Disable
Full ASCII
Standard Code 39 symbology supports only 43 characters. This can be
expanded by using character pairs to identify the full ASCII 128
character set. When this option is ON, the reader will search for these
character pairs and transmit only the Full ASCII single character
equivalent to the host. If Full ASCII is enabled and used to read a
standard Code 39 symbol, any combination of the defined character
pairs will be reported to the host as the single character equivalent.
When this option is OFF and a Full ASCII Code 39 symbol is scanned,
the reader will report each of the characters in the Full ASCII pair as
individual characters. The reader has no way of telling if the symbol is
encoded in standard Code 39 or Full ASCII Code 39.
F1<ENTER>C for Full ASCII On
F1<ENTER>D for Full ASCII Off
