To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan either the enable or disable bar code below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

Code 39 Check Character Calculation

Enables/disables calculation and verification of an optional Code 39 check character. When disabled, any check character in label is treated as a data character.

If check calculation is disabled, the risk is increased that a misread can occur.

In particular, if you are using variable length stitching, it is important to use check character calculation to prevent misreads.

NOTE

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan either the enable or disable bar code below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

Enables/disables the ability of the scanner to translate to Code 39 full

ASCII labels.

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan either the enable or disable bar code below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

Code 39 Label ID

This feature specifies a Code 39 label ID to be added to bar code data.

The programming feature, Label ID Control, designates whether the

Label ID is transmitted as a prefix or suffix or if Label ID is disabled.

NOTE

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan the bar code,

SET CODE 39 LABEL ID

below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in

Appendix C that rep-

resent the desired Label ID characters; entered as two hex pairs. A

table containing the ASCII Character Set and their corresponding

Hex Values is available in the inside back cover of this manual.

ASCII parameters must be input by scanning a pair of hexadecimal digits for each character. Thus, to set a two-character value of AB, bar codes containing the digits ‘4’, ‘1’, ‘4’, and ‘2’ must be scanned.

The selectable range for this option is any hex value from 00 to FF.

4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

Code 39 Require Quiet Zones

When enabled, this feature requires that quiet zones (margins) be present for Code 39 labels. When disabled, quiet zones are optional.

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan either the enable or disable bar code below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

Code 39 Length Control

NOTE

This feature specifies whether variable-length or fixed-length decoding will be set for Code 39.

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

You must now set the features

Code 39 Length 1

and Code 39

Length 2 .

When using variable length stitching, it is important to enable

Code

39 Check Character Calculation to prevent misreads.

CODE 39 LENGTH CONTROL = VARIABLE-LENGTH

Product Reference Guide

CODE 39 LENGTH CONTROL = FIXED-LENGTH

5-293

Code 39 Length 1

Length 1 is the minimum label length if in variable length mode, or the first fixed length if in fixed length mode (see

Code 39 Length Control )

.

Length includes the barcode’s check and data characters.

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan the bar code,

SET CODE 39 LENGTH 1 below. You’ll need to

cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in

Appendix C that rep-

resent the desired label length. The selectable range for this option is

01 to 50. Pad all single digit numbers with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (01-50).

4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

Code 39 Length 2

Length 2 is the maximum label length if in variable length mode, or the

second fixed length if in fixed length mode (see Code 39 Length Control

) .

Length includes the barcode’s check and data characters.

To set this feature:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2. Scan the bar code,

SET CODE 39 LENGTH 2 below. You’ll need to

cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in

Appendix C that rep-

resent the desired fixed label length. A setting of 00 will ignore this length (only one fixed length), otherwise, the selectable range for this option is 01 to 50. Pad all single digit numbers with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (01-50).

4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.
