7.8
Multi-line barcode scanning
The scanner can scan up to 3 lines of bar codes in the readable area at any one time. You can specify the number of lines
to be scanned, the data output order and output format using the configuration software.
7.8.1 Number of lines
The number of lines allowed for multi-line barcode scanning is 2 or 3. This setting is essential.
7.8.2 Data output order
You can specify the data output order by designating code types*

Code types should be selected from readable bar codes you enable. This setting is essential.

Up to two heading characters can be specified. If a question mark (?) is specified, it acts as a wild card. This setting can
be omitted.

The number of digits to be scanned varies depending upon the code type. This setting is essential.
7.8.3 Output format
You may select either the header/terminator- or comma-delimited output format.
(1) Header/terminator-delimited output format
Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data in succession in the data transmission
format selected (see Section 9.2) so that the headers and terminators act as delimiters. For UPC and EAN codes, the
number of digits will be omitted.
(2) Comma-delimited output format
Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data delimited with commas in the data
transmission format selected (see Section 9.2). Note that the scanner outputs the code ID mark specified for the first line
barcode and the number of digits including the delimiter commas. The number of digits will not be omitted even for UPC
and EAN codes.
NOTE 1: Bar code types specified for multi-line barcode scanning cannot be read individually.
NOTE 2: In the Point Scan mode or Barcode Reader mode, the scanning conditions specified for multi-line barcode
scanning are invalid so that the scanner scans codes individually.
NOTE 3: The scanner cannot read multi-line barcodes of UPC/EAN with add-on.
NOTE 4: If linear components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol are specified for multi-line barcode scanning, that
symbol including specified linear components cannot be read.
