Codabar Settings (continued)
ABC-Code - The ABC code is an acronym for American Blood Commission. The code consists of two bar codes
which are decoded in one read cycle. the code is concatenated when the stop character of the first bar code and the
start character of the second bar code is a D. These two D's are not transmitted.
String format:

CX-Code - The CX-Code consists of two are codes which are decoded in one read cycle. The code is concatenated
when the stop character of the first bar code is a C, and the start character of the second bar code is a B. The B and C
characters are not transmitted.

Options for Codabar:
* Enable ABC code concatenation.
* Enable CD code concatenation.
* Enable check digit check.
* Disable transmission of the check digit.
* Disable transmission of start/stop.
* Selection of start/stop character translation.
* Selection of minimum number of data characters.
* Enable library space (CLSI) insertion.
*
Space insertion - This option inserts spaces in position 2, 7 and 13 of the data string for use in library systems.
ST/SP translation - This option enables the translation and transmission of the start and stop characters. Thus, if the
option ST/SP: abcd/tn*e is chosen, the start character is converted to lower case, e.g. from A, B, C or D to a, b, c or
d, respectively), and the stop character is converted from A, B, C or D to t, n, * or e, respectively.
Minimum data characters - Codabar labels are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters as set by the user. If
the number of characters in the label is shorter than the minimum selected, the label will be rejected. If the fixed
length option is used for Codabar type labels, then such labels will additionally be checked for fixed length. This
option will no longer be supported in future software releases.
Intercharacter gap check - This option enables the reading of Codabar labels with a large or irregular gap between
characters.
