Addendum for 4MB JANUS User Manuals

With release 4.05, several significant changes were made to the JANUS
software. These changes include:

• MSI, Plessey, Code 16K, and Code 11 symbologies were removed to make

room for the new ISBT Code symbology. The removed symbologies are still
available if you load an older version (Release 4.04 or earlier) of the
decoding and configuration system on your JANUS device.

To restore the removed symbologies, you must load DECSCAN.EXE,
CFGUMA.EXE, LOADUMA.EXE, RSERUMA.EXE, IC.EXE, and
IC001.DAT on Drive D of your JANUS device.

• The manual viewporting function now supports true manual viewporting.

Earlier versions of the JANUS software set viewport movement to
automatic when a DOS program was executed.

• The autobacklight function was modified and now allows you to turn on

the backlight when a key on the keyboard is pressed.

• You can now use the MakeDisk utility to extract individual files from a

JANUS image file.

This information supplements the information provided in your JANUS user’s
manual. Please keep this addendum with your user’s manual.

Code 128 Enhancements

Purpose: Enables, disables, or configures decoding of Code 128 symbology. Code 128 is a

very high density alphanumeric symbology that supports the extended ASCII
character set. It is a variable length, continuous code that uses multiple element
widths.

Default: Standard
Syntax: CH

Standard Code 128

If you configure Standard Code 128, the reader does not decode Function
Code 1 characters in the first position of a bar code label. Any subsequent
Function Code 1 characters are translated to the ASCII GS character as a
separator for variable length fields.

UCC/EAN Code 128

If you configure UCC/EAN Code 128, the reader decodes a bar code label as
Standard Code 128 unless the first two characters are a start character and a
Function Code 1 character. If the first two characters are a start character and a
Function Code 1 character:

1. The Function Code 1 character is not transmitted.

2. The three symbology ID characters, ]C1, are transmitted.

3. The remaining Code 128 characters are decoded as Standard Code 128.

ISBT Code 128

You can also configure your JANUS device to perform other functions when
you use ISBT Code 128. You can set these parameters with Code 39 bar codes,
through the JANUS configuration application (IC.EXE), or using Code 128
symbology. Spacing between concatenable bar codes must be between 2 and 5
character widths.
