The BHT supports six types of bar codes--the universal product codes, Inter-

leaved 2 of 5 (ITF), Codabar (NW-7), Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128. In addi-

tion to them, the BHT-4000/BHT-5000/BHT-6000/BHT-6500/BHT-7000/BHT-

7500 supports the Standard 2 of 5 (STF). The BHT-6000/BHT-6500/BHT-7000/

BHT-7500 can read also EAN-128 if Code 128 is specified.

(For the allowable bar code types, refer to the BHT User’s Manual.)

Universal product codes (

Syntax 1:

A[:[code][1stchara[2ndchara]][supplemental]]

Syntax 2 (BHT-6500/BHT-7000/BHT-7500):

A[:[code][1stchara[2ndchara]][supplemental]

[,[code][1stchara[2ndchara]][supplemental]]

[,[code][1stchara[2ndchara]][supplemental]]]

where

code is A, B, or C specifying the following:

code is omitted, the default is all of the universal product codes.

1stchara or 2ndchara is a numeral from 0 to 9 specifying the header

character (country flag). If a question mark (?) is specified to

1stchara or

2ndchara, it acts as a wild card.

supplemental is a supplemental code. Specifying an S to supplemen-

tal

allows the BHT (expect for the BHT-3000) to read also supplemental

codes. The BHT-3000 does not support supplemental codes, so specifying

the

supplemental option will cause a run-time error.
