  • Page 7: Introduction

    YSTEM It is important that you understand that, although you can physically attach all the various SP400 interface cables to your scanner, the scanner must contain software that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface. Therefore, the first step is to review the information that immediately follows this introduction titled Reading the Interface Codes.

  • Page 8: Reading The Interface Codes

    The figure below shows where to find the model number label and which digits are the Interface Code. Interface Code (see chart) 180901-501000 -501 MODEL: xxxxxxxxx SERIAL NO: MANUFACTURED: month day, year SP400 Programming Guide...

Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 — adds a leading zero to a UPC-A label which 'expands' the label to the EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13.
  • Page 68 Digit and Number System Digit (NSD) are controlled by your selections for the symbology 'expanded to' rather than the symbology 'expanded from'. For example, if you expand UPC-E to UPC-A, settings for UPC-A determine how the scanner sends a barcode's contents. SP400 Programming Guide...
  • Page 69 Due to the structure of Add-on codes, selecting the Optional setting makes it impossible to ensure that the scanner will always read the Add-on portion of the label.
