Barcode Scanner Configuration

The PROCLEIX
barcodes:

Codabar

Code 128

ISBT 128
During initial configuration of the PROCLEIX TIGRIS System, it is necessary to properly set up
the sample barcode options for the symbologies that are in use at the testing site. This must be
done for both the Sample Carousel Barcode Scanner and the Hand-held Barcode Scanner. The
Sample Carousel Barcode Scanner is configured in the PROCLEIX TIGRIS System Software,
on the Configuration tab. The Hand-held Barcode Scanner is configured using the scanner
itself. The latter step is performed by a Novartis Diagnostics Technical Service representative
upon installation. Any time that an update to the barcode configuration is desired, the
configuration changes must be made for both the Sample Carousel Barcode Scanner and the
Hand-held Barcode Scanner. Otherwise, a configuration mismatch will occur and barcodes may
be interpreted differently using the Sample Carousel Barcode Scanner and Hand-held Barcode
Scanner. Use the instructions below to change the barcode configuration settings.
Caution: Using sample barcodes with check digits is recommended to reduce the risk of
barcode misreads.
Configuring the Sample Carousel Barcode Scanner
To configure barcodes:
1. Click Barcode Configuration....
A Barcode Configuration window opens.
2. Select configuration options to enable interpretation of the barcode symbologies that are
in use at the testing site. Barcode symbologies that are not enabled are reported as
unreadable during sample rack scanning. Do not enable barcode symbologies that are not
in use at the site.
