Code 39 Redundancy

If you are encountering errors when reading Code 39 bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count. Redun-

dancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of errors.

Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy, scan

the Code 39 Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual. Then scan the Save bar code. Default = 0.

Code 39 Message Length

Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length Description (page 6-1) for additional

information. Minimum and Maximum lengths = 1-80. Minimum Default = 3, Maximum Default = 80.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to

the host computer. When the scanner encounters a Code 39 bar code with the append trigger character(s), it buffers Code

39 bar codes until it reads a Code 39 bar code that does not have the append trigger. The data is then transmitted in the

order in which the bar codes were read (FIFO). Default = Off.
