Bar Code Symbologies - Intermec 700 Series User Manual

" " " " "
This appendix contains a brief explanation of some of the bar code symbologies
that the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer decodes and explains some of the
general characteristics and uses of these bar code types. It also includes several
bar code labels that can be scanned into your 700 Series Computer.

Bar Code Symbologies

Specific bar code algorithms can be enabled using the setup menus or the host
computer. Once the computer correctly decodes a bar code, the computer encodes
data with descriptive information about the symbol. Response time is improved
by limiting the computer to the bar codes being used.
