Overview of Matchcode

Usage: Matchcode is used in applications to sort, route, or verify data based on
matching the specific symbol in a variety of ways as defined in this sec-
tion. For example, a manufacturer might sort a product based on dates
that are embedded in the symbol.
Definition: With Matchcode you can store master symbol data in the scanner's
memory, compare this data against the scanned symbols, and define how
symbol data and/or discrete signal output will be directed. A master sym-
bol database can be set up for up to 10 master symbols. See
