Features Features The ID Innovations Incorporated Bar Code decoder represents the state of the art in keyboard wedge and bar code decoding. The Bar Code decoder is based on ID Innovations Incorporated's True Wedge technology. The advances that True Wedge technology provide are found in enhanced functionality, such as keyboard configurable parameters, self cloning, and auto Caps Lock detection.
Features Installing a scanner The decoder is designed to work with any of the following standard devices: - Wands (visible light and infrared) Charge-coupled device (CCD) scanners 5-Volt laser scanners ID Badge/SLOT readers Simply plug your bar code scanner into the 9 pin connector at the front of the bar code decoder. If you are using a scanner that has a squeeze release 9 pin connector, the connector will snap when it is securely in place.
Features Setup is separated into many different categories ranging from "Interface" to "Cloning".
Features The following sections document all of the setup mode categories and the groups and individual options within each category. Next to the option name is the default setting for the option. In addition to the default setting, the keys that are used for editing are listed to the right of the option name. The meaning of each of the key icons is as follows: Key Icon Meaning <> ALT The left and right arrow keys scroll through available settings for the option.

Features <> CODE 39: Check Digit: OFF For applications requiring enhanced data security, a Modulo 43 check digit can be used on CODE 39 and Full ASCII CODE 39 bar codes. When used, the check digit immediately follows the last data character. Use this option to enable or disable the check digit requirement for CODE 39 bar codes. When the decoder decodes a CODE 39 bar code it will calculate the Modulo 43 check digit and verify it against the decoded data.
Features <> CODE 39: Laser/CCD Redundancy: OFF Use this option to control the Laser/CCD redundancy for CODE 39 bar codes. With this option enabled, a CODE 39 bar code must be read twice in a row when using a Laser or CCD device, to be considered a good read. This option provides additional security when scanning poorly printed or damaged CODE 39 bar codes. ) Note: Using this option does not require you to physically read the same bar code twice to get a good read.
Features <> UPC/EAN/JAN: Convert EAN-13 To ISBN: OFF Use this option to control how EAN-13 bar codes that begin with 978 are handled. With this option enabled, an EAN-13 bar code beginning with 978 will have the 978 and the EAN-13 check digit removed. The ISBN check digit is calculated using the remaining numbers, then the ISBN number along with check digit is then transmitted to the computer.
Features ) Note: If the supplements decoder is configured to be OPTIONAL, it is possible to read a bar code that is printed with a supplement and not read the supplement. ASCII UPC/EAN/JAN SUPPLEMENTS: Separator String: Enter up to 9 characters to be transmitted before any supplemental data in a UPC/EAN/JAN bar code.
Features <> INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5: Check Digit: OFF For applications requiring enhanced data security, a check digit can be used on INTERLEAVED 2 of 5 bar codes. When used, the check digit immediately follows the last data character. Use this option to choose between the type of INTERLEAVED 2 of 5 check digit, select from MOD 10, OPCC, or OFF (None).
Features <> INDUSTRIAL 2 OF 5: Maximum Length: 49 <> INDUSTRIAL 2 OF 5: Minimum Length: 2 Use these options to configure the minimum and maximum lengths of INDUSTRIAL 2 of 5 bar codes that can be read. If you configure the Maximum Length to 10 characters and the Minimum Length to 5 characters, the decoder will not read INDUSTRIAL 2 of 5 bar codes with less than 5 characters and more than 10 characters. ) Note: The Maximum and Minimum Length options are ignored if you enable the Fixed Length option.
Features <> CODABAR: Concatenate: OFF The American Blood Commission (ABC) adopted a convention for concatenating data from adjacent symbols. This convention, often referred to as "ABC Codabar," uses a "D" stop character to indicate that data from that symbol should be concatenated with data from an adjacent symbol with a "D" start character. Use this option to enable or disable the ABC convention.
Features <> CODE 93: Control Character Override: OFF Use this option to disable all Edits, Macros, Strings, and the Type ID for CODE 93 bar codes that contain control characters. When this option is enabled and a CODE 93 containing control characters is read, the special key macros are applied, and the data is transmitted to the computer. With this option enabled, you can use bar codes with special control characters to control the computer system without going through the standard editing procedures.
Features <> MSI/PLESSEY: Laser/CCD Redundancy: ON Use this option to control the Laser/CCD redundancy for MSI/PLESSEY bar codes. This option provides additional security when scanning poorly printed or damaged bar codes. ) Note: Using this option does not require you to physically read the same bar code twice to get a good read. The scanner continuously sweeps across the bar code the number of times necessary when this mode is enabled, therefore requiring no additional operator intervention.
Features CONTINUOUS SCAN Once you press the trigger, the scanner is activated and will continuously scan and read bar codes. If the Laser/CCD that you are using has a thermal shutdown the device will pause scanning and resume scanning from time to time. PULSE Once you press the trigger, the scanner will activate and deactivate itself or pulse at regular intervals.
Features are defined after each operation description. Every operation shares four common sub-options the Active For, Bar Code Length, Bar Code Contains String, and String Found At options. <> Edit #1: Active For: ALL BAR CODE TYPES Use this option to specify the bar code types for which the edit is active. You may choose a specific symbology or you may choose to have the edit active for all bar code symbologies or all bar code symbologies always.
Features <> Edit #1: Bar Code Length: ANY Use this option to define the length of the bar code for which the edit is active. Setting this option to 5 will make the edit for active for bar codes that have a length of 5 data characters. The default for this option is ANY, meaning that the length of the bar code is unimportant and that the edit will be executed for any length bar code.
Features <> ASCII ALT Edit #1: Trailing Filter Character: DEC 0 HEX 00 Enter the matching character to remove from the end of the bar code data. To remove trailing spaces from the bar code data, set this option to DEC 32 HEX 20. <> Edit #1: Operation: FILTER CHARACTERS This operation is used to remove matching characters from anywhere in the bar code data.
Features ) Note: When inserting characters in the bar code data, the Insert Position is always relative to the position of the unmodified data. If you insert a character at END - 1 and you wish to insert a character before the original 5th character from the end, simply define another insert character operation at END - 5. <> ASCII ALT Edit #1: Insert Trailing Character: DEC 0 HEX 00 Enter the character to be inserted in the bar code, to insert a space enter DEC 32 HEX 20 for this option.
Features Active For CODE 39 and you read a CODE 39 bar code, then Macro #1 is executed and then Macro #2 is executed. ) Note: If you define a Macro as Active For a specific symbology it will override any macros that are Active For ALL BAR CODE TYPES. Order of Precedence When performing macros the decoder will follow a specific order of precedence. The decoder will make multiple passes through the defined macros.
Features Macro # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Active For ALL BAR CODE TYPES CODE 39 ALL BAR CODE TYPES - ALWAYS ALL BAR CODE TYPES CODE 39 UPC-A ALL BAR CODE TYPES - ALWAYS CODE 39 NA 1 3 NA 2 NA 4 CODE 128 1 NA 3 2 NA NA 4 <> Macro #1: Find String: Enter the text that you are attempting to replace, any matches on this text in the bar code will be replaced with the Replace With string below. The text that you enter here must exactly match the text in the bar code in order for the Replace With string to be used.
Features change the Keyboard Country, the decoder will convert the international characters to % sequences for display purposes when configuring the unit. * Indicates a delay in the string. This is useful if you desire the decoder to delay momentarily while transmitting the string to the computer. The HEX number that follows the * in the string is the number of hundredths of a second to delay before resuming transmission of the string and card data. The delay ranges from *00 (No delay) to *FF (2.
Features String # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Active For ALL BAR CODE TYPES CODE 39 ALL BAR CODE TYPES - ALWAYS ALL BAR CODE TYPES CODE 39 UPC-A ALL BAR CODE TYPES - ALWAYS Type Postamble Preamble Termination Postamble Preamble Termination Preamble CODE 39 4 1 6 5 2 NA 3 CODE 128 1 NA 3 2 NA NA 4 The strings are inserted into the output according to their type, Preambles are inserted at the front, Postambles are inserted at the back, and Termination strings are inserted at the back just after Postambles.
Features Buzzer/LED F7 <> Power Up Beep: ON Use this option to configure the initial power up beep on the decoder. When the decoder is first powered up it will emit a series of beeps to indicate that it is up and running and ready to take input. If you do not wish to have the decoder beep on start up, set this option to OFF. <> Good Read Beep Tone: MEDIUM This option is used to change the tone that is generated on a good read. The available settings are NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, LOW-HIGH, and HIGH-LOW.
Features <> Lockout Cloned Reader Setup Mode: OFF This option is used to lock out the setup mode on the cloned reader. Once the reader has been cloned the only method of changing the setup is by cloning a different setup into the reader, so use this option with caution. This option is useful for configuring readers to be used in an environment where the setup must not be changed.
