Advanced Features
Character Masking and Reordering
This facility allows the user to reformat data scanned by the
reader before it is transmitted to the host. It can be used to
delete characters in certain positions in the label, add user
defined characters, and to reorder the data. By use of control
codes as user-defined characters, with the delay feature, a
single code can be split into two fields. Where necessary, more
complex programming can be performed by UBI.
Code Type Identifier
The code type identifier is just one character in length and is
transmitted as a preamble before all messages of a given code
type.The code type identifier will precede any other user-defined
preamble.
Character Substitution/Deletion
This feature allows up to two user defined characters in any bar
code message to be systematically re-transmitted as another
character or characters. By scanning DEL as the substituted
character, the defined one or two characters are deleted. In this
mode, the feature is useful for eliminating spaces, hyphens, and
other
character separators. For example, if - is replaced with DEL, the
label 123-45 will be transmitted as 12345.
Configuration Password
The implementation of the configuration password ensures that
unauthorized persons cannot change the configuration stored in
the ScanImage's permanent memory. Once implemented, the
reader can only be caused to enter the configuration mode by
scanning a label with the user defined password encoded in
Code 39. The (*) is the Code 39 start and stop character, chart 1,
chart 2 and chart 3 are user defined. The ($) is an obligatory
character, which must be printted as the last of four characters
in the Configuration Password.
