USER'S GUIDE
For the symbologies EAN-13, EAN-8 and UPC-A, you can choose to verify
the check character(s) with the option "Verify and Erase Check Digit". When
this option is enabled, the check digit is verified but filtered from the output. When
this option is disabled, the check character is not verified but included in the
output. Disable this option to support the variation of the UPC-A symbology
which does not contain a check digit.
Another option concerns the Code 39 symbology. An extended version of
Code 39, a symbology which in its standard version has a limited character set,
allows to encode all ASCII characters. The option "Full ASCII Set" allows to
interpret that symbology. By “full” ASCII set, we mean all characters up to
character 128 in the ASCII table. In simple words, the “special” and accentuated
symbols from 128 onwards such as ç and ó are not included.
The "Default" button restores the default settings. It should be noted that the
bar code settings are included in the IRISPen settings! The command "Save
Settings" under the "File" menu and terminating the software with the option
"Save Settings on Exit" under the "Options" menu enabled include the selected
values in the IRISPen settings.
READING BAR CODES ALONGSIDE OTHER DATA
You can read bar codes and other data at the same time! You do not have to
switch from one reading mode to another to encode documents which contain
bar codes and another type of information.
The parameter "Reading Mode" in the IRISPen application window deter-
mines the primary reading mode, the option "Bar Codes" in the IRISPen applica-
tion window determines whether you read bar codes at the same time. Enable
this option to use the mixed reading mode.
