Enable Code Id; Options; Notes; Bar Code - Custom Identifiers - Honeywell HX3 User Manual

When the bar code decoder is in continuous mode the scan button functions as an On/Off switch.
The ring decoder red LED will always be off in continuous mode. The audio beeps and green LED work the same as they
do for normal trigger mode.
If scan mode, power mode, or timeout between same symbol parameters are changed using external configuration bar
codes in the later chapters of this guide the HX3 operating system automatically restores the parameters to their pro-
grammed settings upon a warm or cold boot and/or any change made in the control panel.
Toggling between continuous and normal trigger modes is in effect immediately upon pressing the OK button in this control
panel, a warm boot is not required or necessary.

Enable Code ID

This parameter programs the scanner to transmit the specified Code ID and/or determines the type of bar code identifier
being processed.
Transmission of the Code ID is enabled at the scanner for all bar code symbologies, not for an individual symbology. Code
ID is sent from the scanner so the scanner driver can discriminate between symbologies.

Options

• None: Programs an internal scanner to disable transmission of a code ID. After clicking the Symbology Settings
button, the only entry on the Symbology listing is All, plus any configured custom IDs. Select this option to disable
Code ID processing. The bar code data is received, but is not checked for a Code ID.
• AIM: Programs an internal scanner to transmit the AIM ID with each bar code. After clicking the Symbology Settings
button, the Symbology listing includes all AIM ID symbologies plus any configured custom Code IDs. Select this
option to enable processing of bar codes with an AIM or custom Code ID.
• Symbol: Programs an internal scanner to transmit the Symbol ID with each bar code. After clicking the Symbology
Settings button, the Symbology listing includes all Symbol ID symbologies plus any configured custom Code IDs.
Select this option to enable processing of bar codes with a Symbol or custom Code ID. Note that the Symbol entry
may not appear for any device equipped with an integrated imager (e.g., EV-15 imager).
• Custom: Does not change the internal scanner's Code ID transmission setting. After clicking the Symbology Settings
button, the Symbology listing includes all Custom Code IDs. Select this option to enable processing of bar codes
with a custom Code ID.

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 or Symbol, 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.
• 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.
• When using the parameters in the Scanner Control Panel to manage indicators for good read/bad read decoding,
the number or patterns of beeps heard may be confusing. Rejected bar codes generate a bad scan beep. In some
cases, the receipt of data from an external scanner triggers a good scan beep, and then the rejection of scanned bar
code data by the Scanner Control Panel processing causes a bad scan beep by the mobile device on the same data.
Bar Code – 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.
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).
