Minimum Symbol Length (Code 39)
Usage: Minimum symbol Length helps prevent truncations and increases data
integrity by ensuring that a minimum symbol length will be accepted.
Definition: Specifies a number of characters that the reader will recognize, including
start and stop and check digit characters. The reader ignores any symbol
smaller than the specified length.
Serial Cmd: <K470,
tus,unused,unused,minimum symbol
Default: 0
Options: 0 to 32
Important: When setting Symbol Length to any number other than 0, add
account for a check digit. For example, if your symbol has
Length to 4.
Full ASCII Set (Code 39)
Usage: Must be enabled when reading characters outside the standard character
set (0-9, A-Z, etc.)
User must know in advance whether or not to use Full ASCII Set option.
Since Full ASCII Set requires two symbol words to encode one charac-
ter, it is less efficient.
Definition: Standard Code 39 encodes 43 characters; zero through nine, capital "A"
through capital "Z", minus symbol, plus symbol, forward slash, space, dec-
imal point, dollar sign and percent symbol. When Full ASCII Set is
enabled, the reader can read the full ASCII character set, from 0 to 255.
