Symbology, I.D. and Code Length

Useful information, such as the scanned bar code’s symbology type, code I.D.

and character length can all be variously added to the message string. The fol-

lowing are descriptions for each of these elements:

Symbology —

This function is used to identify and display the scanned bar

code's symbology name (from among any of the symbologies readable by the

imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology) will be transmitted in a

position before the bar code data.

Code I.D. —

The Code I.D. is an alpha-numeric code representing the bar

code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to and/or following the

transmitted bar code data depending upon how this feature is enabled.

In addition to message string positioning (before or after bar code data), options

for this feature include:

•Disable

• Proprietary I.D. — Symbologies are identified by an associated alpha-

numeric code developed by the manufacturer.

• AIM I.D. — Symbologies are identified by a standardized alpha-numeric

code list established by AIM (Association for Automatic Identification

and Mobility).

Code Length —

When enabled, this feature will calculate the total character

length of the scanned bar code (minus truncated leading or ending digits) and

transmit this information just previous to the actual scanned data.

NOTE

An extra step is required in enabling this feature. Selec-

tion of Code I.D. Positon (either before or after bar code

data) must be made PRIOR to selecting either Proprie-

tary or AIM I.D.
