Programming a User-Defined Check Character
1. Scan the Enter OCR Check Character bar code, below.
2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding
hex value from the
Use the

scan the two symbols for each hex value.
3. Scan the Save bar code on the inside back cover.

After you enter all the desired hex values, scan the Save bar code on the
inside back cover of this manual.
Weighting Options
By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use
one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if
two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator
keys in data.
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character
Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,
the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 3, then 1, then 3, and so on. This is the
checking scheme used in many EAN•UCC symbologies, including U.P.C. and
Interleaved 2 of 5 (when a check digit is invoked). To apply this weighting
scheme, set the OCR check character to "0123456789x3x1" or scan the
following symbol:
