Chapter 1: Understanding Barcode

Technology

Barcode technology enables you to encode and decode information stored in a variety of visual
patterns. Barcode patterns can store a variety of data. Currently, the Spectralink 8450 handset
supports a wide range of one-dimensional (1D) and stacked 1D barcode types, including the
Code 128 barcode symbology, which can contain up to 70 numerals and/or characters. The
Spectralink 8452/8453 handset supports a wide range of two-dimensional (2D) barcode types.
Two-dimensional barcode symbologies typically encode more data, which may be contained in
a smaller barcode label, as compared with 1D barcode symbologies. The Spectralink 8450 can
only decode 1D barcode symbologies, whereas the Spectralink 8452/8453 can decode both 1D
and 2D barcode label formats. The Spectralink 8452/8453 can also decode composite
barcodes that contain both a 1D and a 2D barcode component, such as the GS1 Composite
CC-A/B symbology often found on drug packaging.

1D vs. 2D Formats

8450 and 1D Barcode Patterns

Barcode patterns can store a variety of data. Currently, your Spectralink 8450 handset supports
a wide range of one-dimensional (1D) and stacked ID barcode types, including the Code 128
barcode symbology, which can contain up to 70 numerals and/or characters.

1D example (Code 128 symbology)

8452/8453 and 2D Barcode Patterns

Your Spectralink 8452/8453 handset supports a wide range of two-dimensional (2D) barcode
types. Two-dimensional barcode symbologies typically encode more data, which may be
contained in a smaller barcode label, as compared with 1D barcode symbologies. The
Spectralink 8452/8453 can decode both 1D and 2D barcode label formats, as well as composite
1D/2D barcodes.

Chapter 2: Barcode Applications

Caution: Required settings for QBC

Several settings MUST be set to their default value to ensure correct
interoperability between the handset and QBC:

 barcode.preambleTransmissionValue (default Null)
 barcode.postambleTransmissionValue (default Null)
 barcode.symbologyIdTransmission (default 0)

See the explanation of these parameters in Administration Parameters.

Barcode information is typically entered into a field in an application that processes the data.
This application might be running:

 in the web browser on the handset
 on a computer that is linked to a Spectralink 845x handset via QBC.

Using On-board Applications

The first item is a web application running on the web browser on the handset. The scanned
information is used by the web application and either populates an input field on the page or is
used by code in the web page to continue a work flow.

Using the Quick Barcode Connector™ (QBC)

The second item is an application that is running on a computer accessible to the user that has
been loaded with the Quick Barcode Connector application. QBC enables you to capture
barcode data using a Spectralink 8450 or 8452/8453 handset and transfer the data to the
application running on the computer associated with the scanning handset. You can think of it
as a wireless barcode scanner connected to the computer.

For more information, see the Quick Barcode Connector (QBC) Administration Guide.

Note: Symbologies available by default on 84- and 87- Series handsets

All symbologies covered in this document (except for GS1 Composite) are available
on both the 84- and 87-Series handsets and are enabled by default. The 84 Series
can be additionally configured through the .cfg files. The 87-Series is not further
configurable for barcode symbologies and therefore only the default settings can be
deployed as of this writing.

Supported Symbologies

All of the symbologies listed here are enabled by default except GS1 Composite.

* Some parameters apply only to 1D or 2D.
† This symbology has conflicts with other symbologies or internally. Please see the section

Conflicting Symbologies for explanation.

Chapter 3: Barcode Implementation

Admin Tip: Recommended configuration

Although barcode parameters can be included almost anywhere in the .cfg file
structure, the recommendations given here conform to the standard configurations
as given in the Spectralink 84-Series Deployment Guide. Following these
guidelines will make your installation easier to administer and support.

Implementation of barcode parameters requires that you include your symbology parameters in
the configuration (.cfg) files that you prepare for your facility. If you are using one of the
templates included with the software, common barcodes are enabled by default.

Configuration flexibility allows you to structure the files according to the most efficient method
for your facility. See the Spectralink 84-Series Deployment Guide for a full explanation of .cfg
files and how they are structured. Double check the site.cfg file to determine if the barcode you
want to deploy is enabled.

Parameters are assigned by:

 Site – parameters that apply to the entire deployment such as network, log-in, DHCP,

etc.

 Group – parameters that apply to a limited number of users such as nurses or sales

departments.

 User – parameters that apply to specific users such as extension and username.

The first essential factor in determining how to configure the parameters is whether all
8450/8452/8453 handsets will be using the same barcode symbology/symbologies or if specific
groups will need certain symbologies that conflict with the symbologies used by another group.
See the section below for information on conflicting symbologies.

One of these three types of configurations is recommended.

 If different and conflicting barcode symbologies are deployed, the conflicting parameters

should be assigned to a group or groups and included in each group’s .cfg file.

 If all barcode symbologies are the same for all handsets and no conflicting symbologies

are required, the parameters are best deployed site-wide in the site.cfg file or in a
separate barcode.cfg file that all handsets reference through the 00000000000.cfg file.

 In rare instances, parameters should be included in the user file. For instance if only one

user requires a certain symbology that conflicts with the symbologies used in the rest of
the facility, that specific handset can be configured with the unique symbology.

If conflicting symbologies are in use and group .cfg files cannot be used, you must include
the barcode parameters in each user profile .cfg file.

Settings: The barcode.cfg file

All barcode parameters are included in the barcode.cfg template. You can use this
file to customize barcode parameters for your facility by either including it
wholesale as in Flat Deployment or by copying and pasting the symbologies you
want to deploy into another .cfg file.

These recommendations align with the three Scenarios described in the Deployment Guide:

As you can see from the above graphic, any .cfg file could contain the barcode parameters.
Your primary concerns should be accuracy of deployment and ease of maintenance. Therefore,
the general parameters should be included in the site.cfg file unless:

 you are using the barcode.cfg file as shown as an option in the Flat Deployment

 you must deploy conflicting parameters in which case you would put the symbologies in

scenario

a [Group] or [user] file.

1725-86973-000_C.docx
June 2014 14

Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Telephones Barcode Administration Guide

Caution

Certain symbologies are mutually exclusive. If you use the barcode.cfg file, ensure
that you disable the symbologies that you do not want to deploy. If you deploy
conflicting symbologies, ensure that they are segregated by [Group] or by [User].

Conflicting Symbologies

The GS1 Composite symbology and the EAN/UPC symbology can conflict with each
other.

This is due to the fact that some GS1 Composite variants (e.g. CC-A/B) contain a 2D barcode
and a UPC or EAN barcode. If you are trying to scan such a barcode and you have EAN/UPC
enabled, the barcode scanner may only return the EAN/UPC data and not the 2D portion of the
composite barcode.

ISBT 128 and Code 128 conflict with each other.

ISBT 128 consists of a Code 128 barcode with special data ID information prepended to the
barcode data. If read as an ISBT 128 barcode, the scanner can correctly interpret this special
data ID information. If read as a Code 128 barcode, the scanner will mistake the special data ID
information as just part of the barcode data. For this reason, the configuration parameters

enforce that they can’t both be activated. (See

barcode.symbology.symbology128Type.selection)

barcode.

aimingBeamMode

0 to 2

0

The aiming beam mode. If the aiming beam is turned
on, the scanner will turn on the aiming beam for the
barcode.aimingBeamDuration before attempting to
decode a barcode. This allows a user to more
accurately aim the scanner, ensuring accurate
scanning of a particular barcode when many barcodes
are close together. Enabling this will cause the
minimum time to scan a barcode to increase by the
barcode.aimingBeamDuration. NOTE: Changing this

value from will significantly change the user’s barcode
scanning experience, so be sure to enlist your user’s

help in determining their preferred method.

The supported values are:

• 0 = typical aimer

• 1 = one button press aim and read

• 2 = first button press aim, second button press read

barcode.

centerDecodingActivation

0 or 1

0 or 1

A flag to determine if center decoding activation is
enabled. Center Decoding causes the scanner to only
attempt to decode barcodes at, or near the center of
the scan area.

If 0, center decoding activation is disabled

(default for the Spectralink 8450).

If 1, center decoding activation is enabled (default for
the Spectralink 8452/8453). The
barcode.centerDecodingTolerance parameter is used.

Barcode parameters must be set to correctly scan the symbologies encountered so that the
information passed to application programs (either internal web applications or to the PC via
QBC) contains the barcode data information the programs expected. For QBC, the barcode
parameters set in the provisioning server files must match the type of barcode input requested
by the application program for a successful implementation of barcoding.

Barcode parameter groups are listed here in alphabetical order. Most symbologies are enabled
by default.

reading "hard to read" bar codes are:

• High

This is the most permissive mode. When enabled, the
scanner reads codes of variable quality.

The first margin of the quiet zone is expected to be four
times the width of the narrow element, and the second
margin twice the width.

Quiet zone is the white space before and after a bar
code to ensure correct decoding.

• Medium

This mode allows medium permissiveness.

• Low

This is the least permissive mode. When enabled, the
scanner reads only high quality codes that meet the
official Code 39 standards.

The first margin of the quiet zone is expected to be
seven times the width of the narrow element, the
second margin ten times.
