Locate the Hex value for the symbology and scan the 2 digit hex values from the Option Codes.
99 is the universal number, indicating all symbologies.
[Code length]
• Length: 4 byte
Specify what length of data output will be acceptable for this symbology. When you calculate the length, you
must consider the whole data string which includes the programmed Preamble, Postamble, Scanned Data
Length, Prefix/Suffix Symbol ID or AIM ID. Scan the four digit data length from the Option Code.
40 is entered as 0040; 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.
[Character match]
• Length: 2-8 byte
You can refer to HEX/ASCII Reference Table to find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to
match. Use the Option Codes to scan the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. You
can match up to 4 characters which are counted from the start character of the whole Data String.
Note: When setting the matched character(s), you must match the content of the whole Data String, including
the programmed Preamble, Postamble, Scanned Data Length, Prefix/Suffix Symbol ID or AIM ID.
FF is the universal character, indicating all characters.
Batch Reading Rule Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 39, Code 128, and Code 93 bar codes, but you would like to output
the data in following sequence: Code 128 - Code 39 - Code 93
C-CODE93
You would set up the Batch Reading rule with the following command line:
[PROGRAM] [Batch Reading] [0301999941FF0799994243FF09999945464748FF] [FIN] [END]
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
03 The number of elements in the overall rule
01 Code identifier of Code 128
9999 Code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
41 Start character match for Code 128, 41h = “A”
FF End of first code
07 Code identifier of Code 39
9999 Code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
4243 Start character that must match for Code 39, 42h = “B”, 43h = “C”
FF End of second code
09 Code identifier of Code 93
9999 Code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
