Refer to chapter 4 for scanning tips and design rules for forms and labels;
refer to appendix B for a detailed discussion of the supported bar code symbolo-
gies.
The user can limit the recognition to specific bar code types by clicking the
corresponding options. The "Default" button restores the default bar code set-
tings.
Additional options are available for the symbologies EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-
A and Code 39.
For the symbologies EAN-13, EAN-8 and UPC-A, the user can verify the
check character with the option "Verify and Erase Check Digit". When this op-
tion is enabled, the check digit is verified but filtered from the output. When this
option is disabled, the check character is not verified but read and included in the
output. This option should be disabled to read Code 39 bar codes which do not
contain a check digit.
The option "Full ASCII Set" concerns the Code 39 symbology. An extended
version of Code 39, a symbology which in its standard version has a limited char-
acter set, allows the encoding of all ASCII characters. The “full” ASCII set
refers to all characters up to character 128 in the ASCII table set, the “special”
and accentuated symbols from 128 onwards such as ç and ó are not included.
Enabling this option allows the interpretation of that symbology. The full ASCII
symbol set is not supported by default, as it is a special version of the Code 39
symbology.

The reading mode "Bar Codes" in the IRISPen application window enables
bar code reading as only reading mode.
The option "Bar Codes" in the IRISPen application window enables a mixed
reading mode where bar codes are read alongside data of another type. The
parameter "Reading Mode" in the IRISPen application window then determines
the primary reading mode and the option "Bar Codes" in the IRISPen application
window determines whether read bar codes can be read simultaneously.
