Bar Code ID’s are characters assigned to each bar code type to identify that particular type of code. These Bar Code ID’s can be used to identify what type of bar code you are using when you are not sure or you want your application to differentiate between the different types.

  • Page 13: Code

    Preamble A "Preamble" is a user-specified data string transmitted at the beginning of each bar code. For example, if you specify the preamble @@ and read data of 123456, "@@123456" would be transmitted to your computer. The default is no preamble. To select a preamble, scan up to 15 characters from the "FULL ASCII MENU" on the back of the Reader Setup Menu, and then scan SET when you're done.
  • Page 14 Postamble "Postamble" refers to a user-specified data string transmitted at the end of each bar code. For instance, if you specify the postamble @@ and read data of 123456, "123456@@" would be transmitted to your computer. To select a postamble, scan up to 15 characters from the "FULL ASCII MENU" on the back of the Reader Setup Menu, scanning SET when done.

  • Page 21: Accumulate Mode

    Accumulate Mode Accumulate Mode is an option (which can be enabled or disabled using the Reader Setup Menu's Code 39 section) allowing the reader to accumulate multiple bar codes in its buffer, then transmit them to the computer as if they had been a single bar code. This is useful for entering quantities and other variable data.
