NCR RealPOS - Code 128; Code 128 Tone; Tone Length; Tone Frequency

Chapter 5: Programming 5-35
The Bar Codes 4 programming mode contains programming parameters for Code 128 bar
codes. Refer to the “Parameter Defaults“section earlier in this chapter for the factory defined
default value of each programming parameter.
Code 128
The Code 128 parameter contains two selections: Disable and Enable. Disable reading Code
128 bar codes by scanning the Hex 0 tag and enable reading by scanning the Hex 1 tag.
Code 128 Tone
This parameter permits you to enable or disable the Code 128 tone. Scan Hex 0 to disable the
tone (default) or Hex 1 to enable it. If disabled, the Code 128 tone is under control of the UPC
tone control (general good read tone).
Tone Length
The Tone Length parameter permits you to set the length of the Code 128 tone. Set this
parameter by scanning the appropriate Hex tag (Hex 0 to Hex F). Each Hex tag is incremented
by 15 milliseconds. For example, Hex 0 = 0 ms, Hex 1 = 15 ms, Hex 2 = 30 ms, Hex 3 = 45
ms, and so forth. The default Code 128 Tone Length is 75 ms (Hex 5).
Tone Frequency
This parameter permits you to set the frequency of the Code 128 tone. Set this parameter by
scanning the appropriate Hex tag (Hex 0 to
Hex 7).
Hex Tag Frequency in Hertz
Hex 0 3348 Hz
Hex 1 2976 Hz
Hex 2 2679 Hz
Hex 3 2435 Hz
Hex 4 2232 Hz
Hex 5 3906 Hz
Hex 6 3750 Hz
Hex 7 3538 Hz
Note: The default Code 128 tone frequency is 2232 Hertz (Hex 4).
Code 128 Stitch Enable
This parameter determines whether Code 128 tag stitching is enabled or disabled. Scan the
Hex C to disable Code 128 Stitching (default) or Hex D to enable it.
