Longitudinal Redundancy Check 
A Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) is an error checking character that is 
calculated across a sequence of data characters. It is determined by eXclusive 
ORing (XOR) the characters to be checked, starting with an initial value of 
00H. 
The result, an “LRC byte” is then transmitted following the data stream and 
used by the receiving computer to determine if the information was received 
correctly. In the scanner’s case, XOR is performed prior to adding parity bits. 
When the LRC is enabled, the scanner defaults to starting the LRC on the 
second byte of information transmitted. Optionally, the calculation can start on 
the first byte transmitted. 
 
 
Enable Transmit of LRC Calculation – The 
scanner outputs on LRC check character after 
the bar code. 
 
*  Disable Transmit of LRC Calculation. 
 
*  Start LRC on First Byte – The scanner will 
calculate the LRC check digit starting with the 
first character. 
 
Start LRC on Second Byte – The scanner will 
calculate the LRC check digit starting with the 
second character.
