Parameters
Pharmacode
Used mostly in pharmaceutical packaging.
Encodes up to five different numbers, each with its own color, which may be entered in
decimal or "binary" format with a 1 represented by a thick bar and a 0 represented by a
thin bar. Bar width is independent of height.
In decimal format, each part can be up to 999,999.
In binary format, each input can have up to 19 ones and zeros.
Important: When Pharmacode is enabled, other linear symbologies will not decode properly.
Disable Pharmacode before reading other linear symbologies.
Fixed Symbol Length Status
When enabled, the imager will check the symbol length against the symbol length field. If
disabled, any length will be considered valid.
Symbol Length
Specifies the exact number of bars that must be present for the imager to recognize and
decode the Pharmacode symbol.
