Part 1. The 7673 ALS The Automatic Liquid Sampler
Sample tray setpoints
Procedure: Configuring the bar code reader
The bar code reader can be configured to read specific codes on the bar code
label.
1. To edit the bar code reader setpoints, press [Config][Sample Tray].
2. Press [On] or [Off] to control the following bar code setpoints.
Enable 3 of 9—the 3 of 9 code offers the greatest versatility for
laboratory use. It can encode both letters and numbers, plus a few
punctuation marks, and message length can be varied to suit both the amount
of data to be encoded and the space available.
Enable 2 of 5—the 2 of 5 code is restricted to numbers but does allow
variable message length.
Enable UPC code—the Universal Product Code (UPC) is probably the
most well-known code in use today. UPC codes are numbers-only and have
fixed message length.
3. Enter a tray location to define the bar code reader position. The range is
1 to 19. Position 3 is the front of the tray.
For more information on the 18587A bar code reader, refer to its Operating
Manual (Part no.18587-90107) or Installation and Service Manual (Part no.
18587-90127).
