Getting Started

Introduction

The Captuvo Enterprise Sleds include an optional integrated imager for scan­ning all types of bar codes. You have the capability to configure the scan engine
in the sled using the programming bar codes included in this user’s guide; how­ever, the application being used might override the settings you have pro­grammed. An optional magnetic stripe reader (MSR) for reading cards with
magnetic stripes is also available.

Out of the Box

Verify that the box contains the following items:

• Captuvo Enterprise Sled

• Charger (if appropriate)

• USB Cable

• Quick Start Guide

• Regulatory Sheet

Note: If you ordered accessories for your sled, verify that they are also included

with the order.

Be sure to keep the original packaging in case you need to return the sled for
service.

Note: Honeywell is not an authorized Apple repair center. Please return only

your sled to us for repair. Honeywell is not liable for any non-Honeywell

product shipped to our repair center.

Note: Refer to your Apple device’s documentation for important product and

safety information.

Operating Temperature

The maximum operating temperature range for the Captuvo sled is 0°C to 35°C
(32°F to 95°F).

1 - 1

Reading Techniques

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

The sled has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre­sponds to the sled’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be cen­tered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam is smaller when the sled is closer to the code and larger when
it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size)
should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil
size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols
(on a page or on an object), hold the sled at an appropriate distance from the
target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code
being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt
the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scan­ning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command
requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that

1 - 2

entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered

Save Custom Defaults

Set Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save
Custom Defaults bar code.

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting.
To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you
had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom
defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set
Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code,
and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain,
but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your sled, scan the Activate
Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar code

for most users. It resets the sled to the custom default settings. If there are no
custom defaults, it will reset the sled to the factory default settings. Any settings
that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the
factory default settings.

1 - 3

Resetting the Factory Defaults

!

Remove Custom Defaults

Activate Defaults

This selection erases all your settings and resets the sled to the original
factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your sled, or you’ve changed
some options and want to restore the sled to factory default settings, first scan
the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This
resets the sled to the factory default settings.

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 6-5 list the factory default settings for
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Input/Output Settings

Good Read and Error Indicators

Beeper – Good Read

The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read.
Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read
indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = Beeper -

Good Read On.

Beeper Volume – Good Read

The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the sled emits on
a good read. Default = High.

2 - 1

Manual Trigger Mode

Manual Trigger - Normal

Hand Held Scanning - Mobile

Phone

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or
until the trigger is released. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the lon­gest working ranges (depth of field). Default = Manual Trigger-Normal.

Mobile Phone Read Mode

When this mode is selected, your sled is optimized to read bar codes from
mobile phone or other LED displays. However, the speed of scanning printed
bar codes may be slightly lower when this mode is enabled.

Note: To turn off Mobile Phone Read Mode, scan a Manual Trigger Mode bar

code (see page 2-2).

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the sled’s field of view to make sure the sled reads
only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are
placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are
read.

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or
output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the
scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify
using the Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and
Right of Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering win-

dow has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar
Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does
not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to

be read. It does not need to pass completely through the centering

window.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the
top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you
want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this
manual. Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bot-

tom and Right.

2 - 3

Preferred Symbology

* Centering Off

Top of Centering Window

Bottom of Centering Window

Left of Centering Window

Right of Centering Window

The sled can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over
other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear on
the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.

For example, you may be using the sled in a retail setting to read U.P.C. sym­bols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some
licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use
Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the
Code 39.

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority,
or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the
sled ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on
page 2-5) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority
symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.

If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the sled
will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no bar
code in the sled’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is
reported.

Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

2 - 4

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default =

* Preferred Symbology Off

Preferred Symbology On

High Priority Symbology

Low Priority Symbology

Preferred Symbology Off.

High Priority Symbology

To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology
bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbol­ogy you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbol­ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside
back cover). Scan Save to save your selection. Default = None

Low Priority Symbology

To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar
code below. On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology
you want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology
and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover).

If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan
the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart for the next symbology.
You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to save your
selection. Default = None

Preferred Symbology Time-out

Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low
priority symbologies, you must set the time-out period. This is the period of
time the sled will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority bar

2 - 5

code has been encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the delay

Preferred Symbology Default

(from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover,
then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.

Preferred Symbology Default

Scan the bar code below to set all Preferred Symbology entries to their
default values.

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence

When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the sled
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the sled will not transmit the output data to the host device.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is

turned on.

Output Sequence Editor

This programming selection allows you to program the sled to output data
(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application
requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned.
Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the sled to the Universal
values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to
delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the

code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application
requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read
these options.

2 - 6

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output

Sequence, page 2-10).

2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you
want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
(inside back cover).

3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be
acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is
a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length,
you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences
On the ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements, page A-10, find the
Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the
Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that
represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number,
indicating all characters.)

5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or

Save to save your entries.

Output Sequence Example

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar
codes, but you want the sled to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and
Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to

count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of
the length. If you use the example on page 2-8, but assume a <CR> suffix
and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF

Output Sequence Editor

Partial Sequence

If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output
sequence criteria are met, the bar code data acquired to that point is a
“partial sequence.”

Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the
output sequence operation is terminated before completion. Scan Trans-
mit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the

sequence where no data match occurred will be skipped in the output.)

On/Not Required

*Off

* Off

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an
edited sequence or the sled will not transmit the output data to the host
device. When it’s On/Not Required, the sled will attempt to get the output
data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the sled transmits
all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
the sled decodes it. Default = Off.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is

turned on.

Multiple Symbols

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aim­ing at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on)
for each read. The sled attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as
the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned Off, the sled
will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.

Video Reverse and Standard Bar

Codes

With No Read turned On, the sled notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using
an EZConfig Tool Scan Data Window (see page 9-3), an “NR” appears when a
code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.

Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”
you can edit the output message (see Data Formatting beginning on page 4-1).
The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse

Video Reverse is used to allow the sled to read bar codes that are inverted. The
Video Reverse Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code.
Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video
Reverse and Standard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.

Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read.

You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Bar
Codes in order to read menu bar codes.

Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for

decoding only.

the scanner. Default = Upright.

Default = Upright.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section
are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break­down of a message string:

Prefix

alpha numeric &
control characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-11

Suffix

1-11
alpha numeric &
control characters

Points to Keep In Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this
chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default
prefix = None. Default suffix = None.

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one
time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear
on the output.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all
symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix
or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters,
which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 3-3).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the

3 - 1

symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For
example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish

to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once

to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash
itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for
U.P.C.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a
symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single sym­bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char­acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Add CR Suffix

All Symbologies

Add Prefix

Clear One Prefix

Clear All Prefixes

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the
symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all
symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then pro­grams a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the sled’s output. For example,
you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar
code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only
if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is outputted automatically. However
when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send

Commands on page 4-4) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the sled. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 4-2).

Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an
alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format

4 - 1

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page

Enter Data Format

Save

4-17 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 4-4) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3
digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to
which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.

If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the excep­tion of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 4-14).

If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for
the Code I.D.

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the

Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. For example,

50 characters is entered as 0050.

Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 4-4). Scan the symbols
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric
characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving

your changes.

Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2,
or 3, depending on the format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type
and Code I.D. (see Symbology Charts on page A-1), and the bar code
data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other
formats remain unaffected.

Discard Data

B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code

128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (page 4-2), select
6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter
FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with
the letter A. Syntax = B8.

The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 4-15) in order for the
B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 4-

16), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as

usual.

4 - 14

Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format

Data Formatter Off

Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 4-16), the scanner emits an error
tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled
for reading and no tone is sounded.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read, including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created
and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format
requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not
transmitted. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating
an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements
generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without
generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone

When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data for­mat, the sled normally generates an error tone. However, you may want to
continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you scan
the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t
conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound.
If you wish to hear the error tone when a non-matching bar code is found,
scan the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On bar code. Default =

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On.

You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your
primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under
1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar
codes below.

Single Scan Data Format Change

You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next bar
code is scanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format
you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).

All Symbologies

All Symbologies On

All Symbologies Off

If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your sled, scan the All
Symbologies On code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a partic-

ular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for that
particular symbology.

Note: When All Symbologies On is scanned, 2D Postal Codes are not enabled.

2D Postal Codes must be enabled separately.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbolo­gies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid read­ing length, the sled will issue an error tone. You may wish to set the same value
for minimum and maximum length to force the sled to read fixed length bar code
data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming

Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum

lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Start/ Stop Characters

Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code.
You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters.
Default = Don’t Transmit.

Codabar Check Character

Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can
program the sled to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check
characters. Default = No Check Character.

No Check Character indicates that the sled reads and transmits bar code
data with or without a check character.

When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the sled will only
read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit
this character at the end of the scanned data.

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatena­tion, the sled looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adja­cent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two
messages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the sled to append the data from several Code 39 bar
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this
function is enabled, the sled stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with
a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately
transmit the data. The sled stores the data in the order in which the bar

GS1-128, and GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application that
accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize one data
carrier type.)

If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8,
EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will
be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If GS1 DataBar Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8,
EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will
be the GS1-DataBar AIM ID, ]em (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If GS1 Code Expansion Off is scanned, retail code expansion is disabled, and
UPC-E expansion is controlled by the UPC-E0 Expand (page 5-28) setting. If
the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see

Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If EAN8 to EAN13 Conversion is scanned, all EAN8 bar codes are converted
to EAN13 format.

Default = GS1 Emulation Off.

This code is a composite code since it has a Code 39 linear component and a
MicroPDF417 stacked code component. All bar code readers are capable of
reading the Code 39 linear component. The MicroPDF417 component can only
be decoded if TLC39 On is selected. The linear component may be decoded
as Code 39 even if TLC39 is off. Default = Off.

Data Matrix Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Data
Matrix bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer.
When the scanner encounters an Data Matrix bar code with the append
trigger character(s), it buffers the number of Data Matrix bar codes deter-

ber of codes is reached, the data is output in the order specified in the bar
codes. Default = On.

Data Matrix Code Page

Data Matrix Code pages define the mapping of character codes to charac­ters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it
may be because the bar code being scanned was created using a code
page that is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is
the case, scan the bar code below, select the code page with which the bar
codes were created (see ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements on
page A-10), and scan the value and the Save bar code from the

Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual. The data

characters should then appear properly.
