4.3.1 IBM Data Formatting (Transmission Format)
The IBM 46xx Series cash register recognizes the following codes:
• EAN 8 / EAN13 / UPC A / UPC E with and without Add On
• Interleaved 2/5
• Code 39
• Codabar
• Code 128
• Code 93
• Normal 2/5
The transmission format of codes belonging to this set is specified by the protocol. As
the reader allows a wider set of codes to be selected, the following formats are
defined to offer the user all the reading possibilities of the Datalogic product.
Conversion to Code 39 Format
Data from any code selected may be transmitted. Each code is transmitted to the
Host as Code 39. Any character not included in the standard Code 39 set will be
replaced with a “Space” (20 Hex).
IBM Standard Format
Only codes belonging to the above mentioned set may be transmitted. Each code
transmitted to the Host is recognized by the identifier requested by the protocol. If the
selected code does not belong to this set, it wiII not be transmitted.
Mixed IBM Standard + Code 39 Format
Data from any code selected may be transmitted. For codes belonging to the above
mentioned set, the “IBM Standard Format” is applied. The “Code 39’ Format applies
to codes not belonging to this set.
Cradle Check the Host Command and Cradle Ignore the Host Command
By default the cradle accepts the configuration commands received by the Host.

sent from the Host and maintains its configuration.
