None
Programs the internal scanner to disable transmission of a Code ID. The only entry in the Symbology popup list is All.

loaded with the known AIM ID symbologies for that platform, plus any configured Custom code IDs.
Honeywell ID

panel is populated with the known Honeywell ID symbologies for that platform, plus any configured Custom code IDs.
Symbol
Programs the internal scanner to transmit the Symbol ID with each bar code. The combo box in the Symbology panel
is populated with the known Symbol ID symbologies for that platform, plus any configured Custom Code IDs.
HHP
Programs the internal scanner to transmit the HHP ID with each bar code. The combo box in the Symbology panel is
populated with the known HHP ID symbologies for that platform, plus any custom Code IDs. HHP = Hand Held
Products.
Custom

any configured Custom Code IDs.
Notes
• When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is not enabled, the code ID is sent as part of the bar code data to an
application.
• When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is enabled, the entire Code ID string is stripped (i.e., treated as a Code
ID).
• UPC/EAN Codes only: The Code ID for supplemental bar codes is not stripped.
• When Enable Code ID is set to AIM, Symbol or HHP, Custom Code IDs appear at the end of the list of standard Code
IDs.
• When Enable Code ID is set to Custom, Custom Code IDs replace the list of standard Code IDs.
• Intermec and Symbol equipped devices are configured using configuration bar codes. When Enable Code ID is set
to Custom, AIM or Symbol Code IDs must be added to the end of the Custom Code ID. For example, if a Custom
Code ID 'AAA' is created to be read in combination with an AIM ID for Code 39 ']A1', the Custom Code ID must be
entered with the AIM ID code first then the Custom Code ID : ]A1AAA.
• When Enable Code ID is set to None, Code IDs are ignored.
• Custom symbologies appear at the end of the list in the Symbology dialog, but will be processed at the beginning of
the list in the scanner driver. This allows custom IDs, based on actual code IDs, to be processed before the Code ID.
• The external scanner operation cannot be controlled by the MX8 scanner driver; therefore, a 'good' beep may be
sounded from the external scanner even if a bar code from an external scanner is rejected because of the
configuration specified. The MX8 will still generate a 'bad' scan beep, to indicate the bar code has been rejected.
