2) Barcode Parms (2415, 2425, 2435A, 2455, 2475, 248X, 5020)
The 2) Barcode Parms (parameters) menus designate whether you are us-
ing a bar code scanner and scan options.
Barcode Parms
1) Code 39 Encoded
2)
3) Concatenate
4) RS232 Stream
5) Stream Scan
6) Scan All Flds
4) RS232 Stream is blank for 5020
1) Code 39 Encoded
By default, 1) Code39 Encoded is disabled. When you enable this option,
the key press sequences f or Encoded Code 39 are used. For more informa-
tion, see Appendix A, “Bar Code Scanning.”
3) Concatenate
Each bar code read is added to the end of the previous bar code read until
the 2415, 2425, 2435A, 2455, 2475, 248X, or 5020 Terminal meets a
condition forcing transmission to the host.
When this option is OFF, each bar code read is placed at the beginning of
the current input field. After a bar code is placed in a field, any subsequent
read replaces the first read.
Note: If you access the TE configuration menus when 4) RS232 Stream is
enabled, all RS-232 data received during this time is lost. Only the data
arriving from the COM1 port on the hand-held terminal is received.
4) RS232 Stream (blank for 5020)
If this option is enabled, the terminal watches the RS-232 port for activity
in which the terminal reads in the RS-232 data and sends it to the host.
This enables support for fixed-station scanners or scales that send only
RS-232 data without having the host send an extended command to en-
able the RS-232 port. Default for 4) RS232 Stream is disabled. For infor-
mation about setting scanner options when this is enabled, see Chapter 2,
“Using Terminal Emulation Applications.”
5) Stream Scan
If the scanned bar code is too big for the input field, the overflow informa-
tion appears in the next field and continues until the entire bar code is en-
tered. When this option is OFF, and the scanned bar code is too big for
the input field, the overflow information is dropped.
6) Scan All Flds
When this option is selected, the scanner is enabled when the cursor is in
an input field. When this option is OFF, the host computer must enable
the scanner for each input field that requires scanned data.
