3. XCD
This is also a multi byte, multi bit code type and also supports very large num-
bers, and it is the most complex on the machine. No explanation of this code
type will be given in this document if a customer wishes to use this code they
must be referred to the Scanning Technical expert.
Now we know about encoding systems we can get back to the customer's
code.
So for our application we have chosen to use BCD so we need 3 bytes to rep-
resent the MC that we require.
We have already used bytes 1 & 2 for our EOC control, Piece count and our
selective feeds so we need to use the next 3 bytes to represent out match
code. This code will now full define our requirements, so putting it all together
we have a 5 byte code.
Example sheets
So we could generate some example sheets, the codes for which could look
like this (the different components of the code have been shaded to clarify the
code makeup)
