Enable Code Id - LXE MX8 Reference Manual

Barcode Tab

Enable Code ID

This parameter programs the internal scanner to transmit the specified Code ID and/or determines
the type of barcode identifier being processed. If the scanner being configured is not an integrated
scanner, the scanner driver expects that the setting has been programmed into the scanner
externally, and that the data will be coming in with the specified Code ID attached.
Transmission of the Code ID is enabled at the scanner for all barcode symbologies, not for an
individual symbology. Code ID is sent from the scanner so the scanner driver can discriminate
between symbologies.
Options
None
AIM
Symbol
Custom
Notes
• When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is not enabled, the code ID is sent as part of the
barcode data to an application.
• When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is enabled, the entire Code ID string is stripped
(i.e. treated as a Code ID).
• UPC/EAN Codes only: The code id for supplemental barcodes is not stripped.
• When Enable Code ID is set to AIM or Symbol, Custom Code IDs appear at the end of the list
of standard Code IDs.
• When Enable Code ID is set to Custom, Custom Code IDs replace the list of standard Code
IDs.
• When Enable Code ID is set to Custom, AIM or Symbol Code IDs must be added to the end of
the Custom Code ID. For example, if a Custom Code ID 'AAA' is created to be read in
combination with an AIM ID for Code 39 ']A1', the Custom Code ID must be entered with the
AIM ID code first then the Custom Code ID : ]A1AAA.
• When Enable Code ID is set to None, Code IDs are ignored.
• Custom symbologies appear at the end of the list in the Symbology dialog, but will be
processed at the beginning of the list in the scanner driver. This allows custom IDs, based on
actual code IDs, to be processed before the Code ID.
• The external scanner operation cannot be controlled by the MX8 scanner driver; therefore, a
'good' beep may be sounded from the external scanner even if a barcode from an external
scanner is rejected because of the configuration specified. The MX8 will still generate a 'bad'
scan beep, to indicate the barcode has been rejected.

Programs the internal scanner to disable transmission of a Code ID. The only entry
in the Symbology popup list is All.
Programs the internal scanner to transmit the AIM ID with each barcode. The combo
box in the Symbology control panel is loaded with the known AIM ID symbologies
for that platform, plus any configured Custom code IDs.
Programs the internal scanner to transmit the Symbol ID with each barcode. The
combo box in the Symbology control panel is loaded with the known Symbol ID
symbologies for that platform, plus any configured Custom Code IDs.
Note: The Symbol entry may not appear on mobile devices with integrated
imagers (e.g. EV-15 Imager).
Does not change the scanner's Code ID transmission setting. The combo box in the
Symbology control panel is loaded with any configured Custom Code IDs.
