Description
Code 39
Configurable settings include:
  • Trioptic - Trioptic Code 39 is a variant of Code 39 used in the marking of computer tape cartridges. Trioptic Code 39 symbols always contain six characters.
  • Full ASCII Conversion - Code 39 Full ASCII is a variant of Code 39 that pairs characters to encode the full ASCII character set.
    Trioptic Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII cannot be enabled simultaneously.
  • Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
    If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.
  • Check Digit Verification - enable to check the integrity of all Code 39 symbols to verify that the data complies with the specified check digit algorithm. Only Code 39 symbols that include a modulo 43 check digit are decoded.
    Check Digit Verification is useful when the Code 39 symbols contain a Modulo 43 check digit.
  • Convert to Code 32 - Code 32 is a variant of Code 39 used by the Italian pharmaceutical industry.
    Code 39 must be enabled for this parameter to function.
Code 128
Configurable settings include:
  • Enable GS1128

  • Select Code 128 Length - The length of a code refers to the number of characters (for example., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 128 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.
    When setting lengths, enter a leading zero for single-digit numbers.
  • ISBT Concatenation Redundancy - if ISBT Concatenation is set to Autodiscriminate, use this parameter to set the number of times the device must decode an ISBT symbol before determining that there is no additional symbol.
  • Emulate UCC128
  • Select ISBT Concatenation - select an option for concatenating pairs of ISBT code types.

    • Autodiscriminate ISBT Concatenation, the digital scanner decodes and concatenates pairs of ISBT codes immediately. If only a single ISBT symbol is present, the digital scanner must decode the symbol the number of times set in ISBT Concatenation Redundancy.
  • Ignore Code128 FNC4 - enable to strip the Code 128 <FNC4> character from the decode data.
