Programming the PT2000 and TopGun
66 PT2000™ & TopGun™
General Programming Parameters
Table 4-1 describes some of the general parameters for programming the
PT2000 or TopGun. For descriptions of serial parameters, refer to
Table 4-2. For a complete list of parameters and defaults, refer to
Appendix A.
Table 4-1: Selected Programming Parameters
ID # Parameter Description
05 Code 39 full
ASCII
Supports the Code 39 extended ASCII character
set (refer to Appendix B
on page 93). For example,
a character string encoded in Code 39 as +A is
transmitted as a lowercase a. This allows every key
of the keyboard to be encoded in a Code 39 bar
code.
06 Code 39
accumulate
Treats multiple bar codes as a single bar code,
provided that all bar codes except the last begin
with a space. The last code must not begin with a
space. Up to 128 characters (not including
preamble, postamble, and symbology identifiers)
can be accumulated before transmission.
0B I 2 of 5
enable
checksum
Enables use of checksums in Interleaved 2 of 5 bar
codes. This parameter should be set to On to read
Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes.
33, 36 UPC
conversion
Converts UPC-A bar codes to EAN-13 (ID #33),
and converts UPC-E bar codes to UPC-A (ID #36).
3B–3E UPC/EAN/
JAN
extensions
Reads two-digit (ID #3C) and five-digit (ID #3D)
extensions if the portable is programmed to allow
them (ID #3B). Doesn’t read UPC, EAN, or JAN bar
codes if the portable is programmed to require
extensions (ID #3E) and no extensions are present.
