The controller will read the characters you specify and put them together to a
string of text. This text string is then matched to the pre-defined strings you
have specified in the cotroller, and if they match the batch sequence linked to
your pre-defined string will be selected.
Barcode strings of a length of up to 1024 characters can be read and they can
contain characters in the positions 32-126 in the ASCII table. If the barcode
contains a string longer than 1024 characters the remaining part of the string,
from position 1025 and forward, will be discarded.
Significant positions
Significant positions are used to specify which characters in the barcode string
to read when putting together the string to match with your pre-defined string.
The number of significant positions must match the number of characters in the
pre-defined strings.
Note! When entering the significant positions on the con-
troller the digits will be separated by a period rather
than a comma. However, the period will be changed
to a comma after the OK button is pressed to enter the
data.
Configuring Significant positions to read in barcode string
The positions in the barcode string are associated with a number between 1–
1024. The string’s first position is 1 and the last is 1024.

Connecting the scanner
The scanner is connected to the controller’s USB port. When connected an icon
will appear next to the scanner item in the accessories menu.
Configuring the scanner
The scanner itself must be set up using a US keyboard, and the scanner shall
emit a carriage return character to terminate the barcode string.
