Code Types Menu - Microscan MS-615 User Manual

Code Types Menu

The Code Types menu allows you to choose among five bar code types
and define their parameters.
To help visualize the menu's organization and to locate the page number
where each topic is described, see figure 2-7, "Code Types Menu Structure,"
on page 2-20.
Note: Options listed in the command line do not always appear in the same
order as those posted in the first column of the menu.
Options can be defined for any bar code type whether or not the bar code
itself is enabled at the time.
Narrow Margins
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
Allows the scanner to read bar codes with quiet zones less than 10 times the
narrow-bar-width. Quiet zone is a term used to describe the minimum space at
the leading and trailing ends of a label. Each quiet zone can be as small as five
times the narrow bar element when Narrow Margins is enabled.
Code 39
Status
Default: Enabled
Options: Enabled, Disabled
Check Digit
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
Code 39 is self-checking and does not normally require a check digit. How-
ever, for additional data integrity, a Modulus 43 check digit can be added to
the bar code message. With Check Digit and an External or Serial trigger
option enabled (see "Triggering Mode" on page 2-11), an invalid check digit
calculation will cause a noread message to be transmitted at the end of the
read cycle.
