    BEEP AND DELAY The 'Beep and Delay' configuration supports the general control options for the Wasp WWS500 Freedom Scanner. These options include the volume, intercharacter delay, and interblock delay. Interblock delay is the minimum time interval between two adjacent scans. If the processing speed of your host device is slower than your scanning speed, a longer interblock delay may ensure the data integrity.

    Chapter 4 Code 39 is variable length and is the most frequently used symbology in industrial barcode systems today. It is extensively used within the Department of Defense (DOD). The principal feature is to encode messages using the full alphanumeric character set. Standard Code 39 contains only 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, $, /, %, +, -, ., SPACE) and can be extended to a 128 character symbology (full ASCII) by combining one of the special characters (S, /, %, +) with a letter (A-Z) to form the characters...

    Chapter 4 INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 AND CODE 93 SETTINGS Interleaved 2 of 5 is a variable length, even numbered, numeric barcode. It is typically used in industrial and master carton labeling and also in the automobile industry. The symbology uses bars to represent the first digit of a pair and the interleaved (white) spaces to represent the second digit of a character pair.
  • Page 19: Code 128 And Ucc/Ean 128

    Chapter 4 Code 128 is the most flexible of all the common linear symbologies. It supports alpha and numeric characters easily, has the highest number of characters per inch, and is variable length. See page 6 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.

  • Page 21: Codabar

    Chapter 4 Codabar is a variable length symbology capable of encoding six special alphanumeric characters, capital letters A through D, T, N, *, E, and all numeric digits. Codabar is one of the oldest barcode symbologies and is still used in some library applications. It should not be considered for new applications except under unusual circumstances.
  • Page 22: Upc-A

    UPC-A (Universal Product Code-A) is fixed length and is the most common UPC barcode for retail product labeling. It is seen in most grocery stores across the United States. The symbology encodes a 12-digit number. The first six digits are assigned from the Uniform Code Council (UCC).
