Part # 902649EN Rev. A
Enable Check Digit - Enables verification of sample barcodes using a Check
Digit character. If this option is not selected, the scanner will assume that a Check
Digit is not present. If a barcode containing a Check Digit is scanned by the
system with this option disabled, the Check Digit will become part of the scanned
Sample ID. It will not be used to verify the scanned barcode.
Note: This option is NOT available on the Handheld Barcode Scanner. If
the Sample Carousel Barcode Scanner cannot read the barcode and
Enable Check Digit is required, the barcode must be manually entered
using the keyboard.
Check Digit Type (NW-7, Modulo 16, or ISO 11-2) - Select the Check Digit type
being used at the testing site.
Transmit Check Digit - Enables the check digit to be transmitted with the
barcode ID; it will be displayed in the Results Report.
Enable Large Intercharacter Gap - Controls the configuration frames. By default
this option is disabled, as it should only be enabled if Novartis Diagnostics
personnel determine that the barcodes being used have a large intercharacter
gap.
Allow ISBT 128 Barcodes - Enables interpretation of ISBT 128 barcodes.
16-character Code 128 barcodes beginning with "=" (equal sign) or "&"
(ampersand) will be interpreted as ISBT 128 barcodes.
Note: Regardless of the barcode options selected, Calibrator, EQC, and
PROCLEIX TIGRIS Control barcodes are properly interpreted by the
system. It is not necessary to enable Allow ISBT 128 Barcodes for these
components.
Allow ONLY ISBT 128 Barcodes - If enabled, all sample tube barcodes must be
in ISBT 128 format.
Note: Because Master Pool Tube (MPT) barcodes are not in ISBT 128
format, do not enable Allow ONLY ISBT 128 Barcodes if samples will be
tested in pools.
ISBT 128 Special Characters - one of the following barcode stripping options
may be enabled:
•
Do not strip characters from barcodes - Barcodes are reported with all 16
characters including prefix and suffix characters.
•
Strip prefix character from barcodes - Barcodes are reported without the
first character, which must be "=" (equal sign) or "&" (ampersand).
•
Strip prefix and suffix characters from barcodes - Barcodes are reported
without the first character or the last two characters (i.e., flag or checksum
characters).
Note: The barcode stripping option only applies to ISBT 128 barcodes
even if the system is configured to allow both ISBT 128 and non-ISBT
Code 128 barcodes.
Note: If the two-digit suffix flag characters printed vertically to the right of the
barcode are greater than or equal to 60 and less than or equal to 96, they are
used as the checksum during barcode scanning.
