Barcode – Custom Identifiers

Code IDs can be defined by the user. This allows processing parameters to be configured for

barcodes that do not use the standard AIM or Symbol IDs or for barcodes that have data embedded

at the beginning of the data that acts like a Code ID.

These are called custom code IDs and are included in the Symbology drop down box in the

Symbology dialog, unless Enable Code ID is set to None. When the custom code ID is found in a

barcode, the configuration specified for the custom Code ID is applied to the barcode data. The

dialog below allows the custom Code IDs to be configured.

It is intended that custom code IDs are used to supplement the list of standard code IDs (if Enable

Code ID is set to AIM or Symbol), or to replace the list of standard code IDs (if Enable Code ID is

set to Custom).

When Enable Code ID is set to None, custom code IDs are ignored.

Note: Custom symbologies will appear at the end of the list in the Symbology dialog, and are

processed at the beginning of the list in the scanner driver itself. This allows custom IDs

based on actual code IDs to be processed before the code ID itself.

Note: When Strip: Code ID is enabled, the entire custom Code ID string is stripped (i.e.,

treated as a Code ID).

Parameters

Name

Name is the descriptor that is used to identify the custom Code ID. Names must be

unique from each other; however, the Name and ID Code may have the same value.

Name is used in the Symbology drop down box to identify the custom Code ID in a

user-friendly manner. Both Name and ID Code must be specified in order to add a

custom Code ID to the Custom IDs list.

Code

text box

ID Code defines the data at the beginning of a barcode that acts as an identifier (the

actual Code ID). Both Name and ID Code must be specified in order to add a custom

Code ID to the Custom IDs list.
