Scanning the Default bar code will program the 3700 Wedge to the symbology
options indicated by a ✱" in the menu selections on this and the following
programming page.
Code 39 is a discrete, twoĆwidth symbology capable of encoding variable
length messages from the set of alphanumerics, and the $/+%.- and space.
The * character is used as the start and the stop character. Each Code 39
character has five bars and four internal spaces: three of these nine elements
are wide, the other sixare narrow. It is thisstructure that gives Code 39 its name.
Default = On.
The start and stop characters are used to identify the leading and trailing ends
of the bar code. Since theyare not considered part of the message they are not
ordinarily transmitted,though the reader can be programmedto transmit them.
Default = Don't Transmit.

to minimize the chance of a misread.
