Symbologies
This programming section contains the following menu selections.  Refer to 
Chapter 9 for settings and defaults.
All Symbologies
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, scan the 
All Symbologies On code.  If on the other hand, you want to decode only a 
particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for 
that particular symbology.   All Symbologies  GS1-128

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbolo-
gies.   If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid read-
ing length, the scanner will issue an error tone.  You may wish to set the same 
value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed 
length bar code data.  This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09Max. length...

Codabar

Codabar On/Off
Codabar Start / Stop Characters
Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. 
You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters.  
Default = Don’t Transmit.
Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.”  You can 
program the scanner to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16, Mod-
ulo 7 CD, or CLSI check characters.  Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the...

6 - 4
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will 
only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, but will not 
transmit the check character with the scanned data.
Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation.  When you enable concatena-
tion, the scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, 
adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character.  In this case the two mes-
sages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters...

6 - 5
Select Require to prevent the scanner from decoding a single “D” Codabar 
symbol without its companion.  This selection has no effect on Codabar 
symbols without Stop/Start D characters.
Concatenation Timeout
When searching for bar codes during concatenation, you may wish to 
set a delay used to find the next bar code.  Set the length (in millisec-
onds) for this delay by scanning the bar code below, then setting the 
timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the

Codabar Message Length
Scan the bar codes below to change the message length.  Refer to 
Message Length Description (page 6-2) for additional information.  Mini-
mum and Maximum lengths = 1-80.  Minimum Default = 3, Maximum 
Default = 80.

Code 39
< Default All Code 39 Settings >
Code 39 On/Off
Code 39 Start / Stop Characters
Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. 
You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters.  Default =  
Don’t Transmit.
Code 39 Check Character
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar 
code data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit 
only reads Code 39 bar codes...

6 - 8
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner only 
reads Code 39 bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit 
this character at the end of the scanned data.  Default = No Check Charac-
ter.
Code 39 Redundancy
If you are encountering errors when reading Code 39 bar codes, you may 
want to adjust the redundancy count.  Redundancy adjusts the number of 
times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the 
number of errors.  Note that the higher...

Code 32 Pharmaceutical (PARAF)
Code 32 Pharmaceutical is a form of the Code 39 symbology used by Ital-
ian pharmacies.  This symbology is also known as PARAF.
Full ASCII
If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs within 
the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single character.  For example:  
$V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as 
the ASCII character #.  Default = Off.
NUL %UDLE $PSP SPACE00@%VPP‘%Wp+P
SOH $A

6 - 10
Character pairs /M and /N decode as a minus sign and period respectively.
Character pairs /P through /Y decode as 0 through 9.
Interleaved 2 of 5
< Default All Interleaved 2 of 5 Settings >
Interleaved 2 of 5 On/Off
NULL Characters
Interleaved 2 of 5 requires an even number of characters.  When an odd 
number of characters is present, it is due to NULL characters embedded in 
the bar code.  Scan the On bar code below to decode this type of Inter-
leaved 2 of 5 bar code.  Default = Off.
