Bar Code Symbologies
Specific bar code algorithms can be enabled using the setup menus or the
host computer. Once the computer correctly decodes a bar code, the com-
puter encodes data with descriptive information about the symbol. Re-
sponse time is improved by limiting the computer to the bar codes being
used.

data string length by one character.
