Figure 75 Select the number of barcode characters to be
reported.
Important
Be careful when specifying the number of characters to report. You may end up
with duplicate barcodes reported. For example:
 If you select to report the four left-most characters 123456L2 and 1234ABL3 are
both reported as 1234.
 If you select to report the four right-most characters, 123456L2 and ABCD56L2
are both reported as 56L2.
