58 | DataWedge Configuration
- Report Check Digit - The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity of the
data. Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled (default -
disabled).
- Preamble - Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol consisting of Country Code and System
Character. Select the appropriate option to match the host system.
There are three options for transmitting a UPCE1 preamble:
+ Preamble Sys Char - Transmit System Character only.
+ Preamble Country and Sys Char - Transmit System Character and Country Code ("0" for USA).
+ Preamble None - Transmit no preamble (default).
- Convert UPCE1 To UPCA - Enable this to convert UPCE1 decoded data to UPC-A format before
transmission. After conversion, the data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming
selections. Disable this to transmit UPCE1 decoded data as UPCE1 data, without conversion (default -
disabled).
Decode Lengths
The allowable decode lengths are specified by options Length1 and Length2 as follows:
• Variable length: Decode symbols containing any number of characters.
- Set both Length1 and Length2 to 0.
• Range: Decode a symbol with a specific length range (from a to b, including a and b).
- Set Length1 to a and set Length2 to b.
• Two Discrete Lengths: Decode only symbols containing either of two selected lengths.
- Set both Length1 or Length2 to the specific lengths. Length1 must be greater than Length2.
• One Discrete Length: Decode only symbols containing a specific length.
- Set both Length1 and Length2 to the specific length.
UPC EAN Params
Allows the configuration of the parameters that apply to more than one UPC or EAN decoder.
• Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select higher security
levels for lower quality bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decode speed, so be sure
to choose only that level of security necessary for the application.
- Level 0 - This default setting allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in
decoding "in-spec" UPC/EAN bar codes (default).
- Level 1 - As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before others
(i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are limited to these
characters, select this security level.
- Level 2 - If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not limited to
characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
- Level 3 - If the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an
extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security can
significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the
quality of the bar codes.
• Supplemental2 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
• Supplemental5 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
• Supplemental Mode
- No Supplementals - the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner
decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters (default).
- Supplemental Always - the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters, and
ignores symbols without supplementals.
