Check Character Verification

A check character is optional for Matrix 2 of 5 and can be added as the last character. It is a calculated value used to verify
the integrity of the data.
Disable: The scanner transmits Matrix 2 of 5 barcodes as is.
Do Not Transmit Check Character After Verification: The scanner checks the integrity of all Matrix 2 of 5 barcodes to
verify that the data complies with the check character algorithm. Barcodes passing the check will be transmitted except the
last digit, whereas those failing it will not be transmitted.
Transmit Check Character After Verification: The scanner checks the integrity of all Matrix 2 of 5 barcodes to verify that
the data complies with the check character algorithm. Barcodes passing the check will be transmitted, whereas those failing
it will not be transmitted.
Since Matrix 2 of 5 must always have an even number of digits, a zero may need to be added as the first digit when the
check character is added. The check character is automatically generated when making Matrix 2 of 5 barcodes.
Disable
Transmit Check Character After Verification
If the Do Not Transmit Check Character After Verification option is enabled, Matrix 2 of 5 barcodes with
a length that is less than the configured minimum length after having the check character excluded will not
be decoded. (For example, when the Do Not Transmit Check Character After Verification option is
enabled and the minimum length is set to 4, Matrix 2 of 5 barcodes with a total length of 4 characters
including the check character cannot be read.)
