TIP: The customer
must provide the
correct byte and bit
locations of all func-
tions to enter a proper
scan definition for
their job. Use the scan
code worksheets (see
Chapter 5, Scan Code
Worksheets) to make
it easier to enter the
scan definition on the
inserter screen.

Helpful Hints When Setting Up Barcode Scan Configurations
• We start counting characters from the left with character ( byte) 1. The start
and stop characters in Code 3 of 9 are not counted. It does not matter which
end of the barcode the scanner sees first, it reads the same either way.
Characters (bytes) for Code 39 (maximum shown)
Start Byte -> 0 1
(ignored)
Characters (bytes) for I 2 of 5 (maximum shown)
1 2 3 4 5
• Within a Code 3 of 9 character the most significant bit (MSB) is counted as
bit 4 and the least significant bit (LSB) is bit 0. *Note that Code 3of 9 uses the
6th bit (bit 5) only to accommodate additional ASCII binary digits needed for
counting with multi-bit functions for bases above 32 (see Appendix A - Base
Code Theory).

• Within an Interleaved 2 of 5 character the most significant bit (MSB) is bit
2 and the least significant (LSB) is bit 0. **Note that I 2 of 5 uses the 4rth
bit (bit 3) only to accommodate additional ASCII binary digits needed for
counting with multi-bit functions for base 10 (see Appendix A - Base Code
Theory).
