The .crb files can be sent directly to the Reader using the normal file transfer. As CRB files are just a list
of text commands, they can also be sent by a serial terminal program. Note: if using a serial terminal
program the Reader will first need to be commanded in to “text command mode”; see Section 6.1.
You can request a copy of all the CR1000/CR8000 Configuration codes in the .crb format.
11 Symbology Detail Settings
11.1 PharmaCode
PharmaCode register F8 contains a number of settings that require detailed explanation. Below is a list
of valid register values and detailed explanation.
0 = Disable PharmaCode decoding (Default)
1 = Enable PharmaCode decoding, no color bars expected; standard rules for all bars. Horizontally and
vertically oriented symbols are decoded. Decoding is performed in the “normal” direction (left bars
more significant than right bars for horizontal symbols; top bars more significant than bottom bars for
vertical symbols).
3 = Enable PharmaCode decoding, Color bars expected; relaxed contrast rules for the three least
significant bars. Horizontally and vertically oriented symbols are decoded. Decoding is performed in
the “normal” direction (left bars more significant than right bars for horizontal symbols; top bars more
significant than bottom bars for vertical symbols).
9 = Enable PharmaCode decoding, no color bars expected; standard rules for all bars. Horizontally and
vertically oriented symbols are decoded. Decoding is performed in the “reverse” direction (right bars
more significant than left bars for horizontal symbols; bottom bars more significant than top bars for
vertical symbols).
11 = Enable PharmaCode decoding, Color bars expected; relaxed contrast rules for the three least
significant bars. Horizontally and vertically oriented symbols are decoded. Decoding is performed in
the “reverse” direction (right bars more significant than left bars for horizontal symbols; bottom bars
more significant than top bars for vertical symbols).
