Codabar Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data Group

Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose to output

up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Codabar bar code is scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select up to

two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data Groups 1

and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming Mode.

3. Scan the SET CODABAR DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits representing

the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step above. A digit of

value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example, scanning 3 and 0 would

output only the character(s) set for Data Group 3 whenever a Codabar

bar code was scanned. Scanning digits 1 and 2 would output both Data

Groups 2 and 3. To select no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters within

scanned data output.

NOTE

The options in this section set Data Group Characters

for the Codabar symbology ONLY. If you wish to enable

this feature for additional symbologies, turn to the

options in the section specific to the other symbol-

ogy(s).
