The bar codes below enable or disable the transmission of the ISBT Code 128 
data identifiers. When this option is enabled, the first two data characters 
are removed from the data stream (ID characters) unless the ISBT bar code 
scanned contains Donation Identification Number identifiers. If Donation 
Identification Number identifiers are present, only the first ID character is 
removed from the Donation ID Number. The second is regarded as  
normal data.

*  Transmit ISBT Identifiers 
The bar codes below convert and transmit the Mode 37, 2 check digit from the 
flag digits of the Donation Identification Number provided the check digit is 
contained in the flag digits. Transmission of the Donation Identification number 
will be the same except for the last two digits, which are converted into a single 
check sum character.
