Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you
Enable
concatenation, the
scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a
symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are
concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.
Default = On.
Select
Require
to prevent the scanner from decoding a lone Codabar symbol.
Message Length
The message length selection is used to set the valid reading length of the bar
code. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading
length, the scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value
for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar
code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes below, then scan the 2-digit value and Save bar codes on the
Programming Chart inside the back cover. Minimum and Maximum
lengths = 2-60.
