Custom Identifiers - Honeywell MX8 User Manual

Custom Identifiers

Code IDs can be defined by the user. This allows processing parameters to be configured for bar codes that do not use
the standard AIM or Symbol IDs or for bar codes that have data embedded at the beginning of the data that acts like a
Code ID.
These are called "custom" Code IDs and are included in the Symbology drop down box in the Symbology dialog,
unless Enable Code ID is set to None. When the custom Code ID is found in a bar code, the configuration specified for
the custom Code ID is applied to the bar code data. The dialog below allows the custom Code IDs to be configured.
It is intended that custom code IDs are used to supplement the list of standard code IDs (if Enable Code ID is set to
AIM or Symbol), or to replace the list of standard code IDs (if Enable Code ID is set to Custom).
When Enable Code ID is set to None, custom code IDs are ignored.
Note: Custom symbologies will appear at the end of the list in the Symbology dialog, and are processed at the
beginning of the list in the scanner driver itself. This allows custom IDs based on actual code IDs to be processed
before the code ID itself.
Note: When Strip: Code ID is enabled, the entire custom Code ID string is stripped (i.e., treated as a Code ID).
After adding, changing and removing items from the Custom IDs list, tap the ok button to save changes and return to
the Barcode panel.
Name text box
Name is the descriptor that is used to identify the custom Code ID. Names must be unique from each other; however,
the Name and ID Code may have the same value. Name is used in the Symbology drop down box to identify the
custom Code ID in a user-friendly manner. Both Name and ID Code must be specified in order to add a custom Code
ID to the Custom IDs list.
ID Code text box
ID Code defines the data at the beginning of a bar code that acts as an identifier (the actual Code ID). Both Name and
ID Code must be specified in order to add a custom Code ID to the Custom IDs list.
Custom ID Buttons
Add
Entering data into both the Name and ID Code fields enables the Add button. Tap the Add button and the data is added
to the next empty location in the Custom ID list.
