Reference two types of possible optional EAS connections in Figure 1-3a and Figure 1-3b. Figure 1-2. Connector Panel 0.00 POS Terminal POS TERMINAL Remote Display REMOTE DISPLAY Aux.
Physical Parameters This section provides specifications for performance, environmental and electrical parameters. Reference the second section of this manual, Site Preparation and Installation, for physical measurements of all models and some accessories. Scanning The scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scanner projects laser light in order to scan items.
Weighing Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum static weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more information regarding the topic: Proper Weighing Technique, refer to the Operation and Maintenance section of this manual. Rated Weight Capacity The scale’s operational weight capacity is: • 30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments OR • 15.000 kilograms1, displayed in 0.005 increments.
Warm-Up Time There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanning-scale: The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducing the total required warm-up time to 60 minutes. NOTE Thermal Equilibrium When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area) to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutes must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to calibration or operation.
Figure 1-4.
Power Supply The scanner utilizes a single power supply for all models. Unique installation and international connections are accomplished through selection of the proper IEC power cord VOLTAGE 100-240VAC ±10% FREQUENCY 50-60 Hz CURRENT (RMS) 0.5 Amps @ 100V PART NUMBER 8-0761 Safe operation of your scanner or scanning-scale requires properly grounded electrical outlets.

Section 2 Site Preparation and Installation This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters and instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation considerations, cable routing information and unit installation. Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.
Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Family EAS EAS Model 8503 Model 8504 EAS Model 8505 Pre-Installation Considerations It should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however, offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety and productivity. Careful planning using these general guidelines should result in a more efficient, comfortable work environment. The U.S.
Checkstand Design 1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle groups (for example designs which allow the cashier to use both hands for scanning and bagging). 2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an input belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart. These designs put less stress on the cashiers’ shoulders and back. 3. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away conveyors (i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the products).
Scanner Installation 1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the countertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting. 2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 - 25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side). Scanner Maintenance 1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and reduce rescans. 2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.
2. Regularly train cashiers in proper scanning methods and ergonomics principles, such as: Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work equally between hands. Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items. Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a barcode toward either of the scanner windows. Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand movements.
Recommended Power Installation. Since the typical grocery environment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken to ensure that the scanner has a supply of “clean” power (power without excessive electrical noise). Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this section focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand take away” requirement.
Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platter removal using two coins may be employed, however a minimum vertical clearance of 1.5” (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 2-2). Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstructions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc. Figure 2-2. Vertical Clearance DO NOT Obstruct L-Platter Removal (Keyboard Mount) DO NOT Obstruct Scan Zone Allow a minimum clearance of 1.5" (3.
If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are located near the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installations, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air movement. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that may be washed or replaced is recommended. Figure 2-3.
Power Installation Plug your scanner into an electrical outlet that has been wired to meet all applicable electrical codes, laws, and regulations and has a common ground with the Point-of-Sale terminal Grounding The AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earth ground. If you are not sure how to verify the amount of electrical noise (interference) on the power line, ask a qualified electrician to measure the input line voltage.
Checkstand Preparation Reference Figure 2-4. When performing a first time installation into a new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling and the AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installation of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices. Depending upon checkstand design, you may wish to install an item diverter to direct items toward the scan window.
Liquid Spills and Moisture Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas. Counter Cutout The most important consideration when planning the counter opening for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal, ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of items.
Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should be routed away from all highly inductive electrical devices, like motors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit’s power cable if possible. Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replacement is required. A little planning now will save a lot of frustration later. 4. Connect and verify all system operations.

Checkstand Mounting There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capacity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when calculating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items. NOTE If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75” (1.
Unpacking To unpack the unit: • Inspect the package for signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage is found, report it to your carrier immediately. • Lift out the accessory box containing the AC/DC Power Supply, optional Remote Scale Display and cable (if present), and the Quick Reference Guide. • Remove the Quick Reference Guide and familiarize yourself with the unit’s controls and features. Leave the guide at the checkstand when the installation is complete.
Operational Verification Follow these steps to ensure that your unit has arrived undamaged and is fully functional before installing it in the counter and connecting it to your POS system. 1. If the unit is a scanning-scale, connect the Remote Scale Display to the proper connector on the unit’s connector panel (refer to Figure 2-16).
be allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations. These two warm-up periods may run concurrently. 4. Verify that the scanner or scanning-scale passes an operational test by observing the following: Scanner. Pass UPC/EAN barcode labels in front of the scanner’s windows. Since the interface cable is not yet connected to the POS terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two labels (see the note that follows).
needing to scan an item’s barcode. Pass an active EAS tag over the scanner in the same direction you would scan a barcode. The bottom-most LED will flash red, then orange, then return to green. The beeper may be configured to sound a high frequency beep to announce successful deactivation. Scale. If the Yellow LED is not lit, press the Scale Zero Push Button momentarily. If the scale is operating correctly, the yellow LED will illuminate and remain on steady, and the display will show a reading of 0.
Diagnostic Modes Two diagnostic modes are available which allow you to initiate scanner or scale diagnostic tests, as well as verify the scanner’s ability to read barcodes. Scanner Diagnostic Mode While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of barcodes while troubleshooting problems. Under normal operation, the scanner stores label data, awaiting the signal which transmits it to the host.
play will indicate that the unit has passed the diagnostic test by displaying PASS . Next, the display shows a listing of how many times the unit has been calibrated and zeroed in the form of: c XXX where x equals the number of times the scale has been calibrated. Next, the unit will display Zero XXXX where x is the number of times the scale has been zeroed. Finally, all segments will be displayed in the form of: -18.8.88 c XXX to allow visual verification of display function.

Figure 2-15 shows available adjustment for the display head.
Viewing Angle The optimum display angle is directly facing the viewer. Tilt and rotatioin adjustments can be made for the Remote Display models is shown in Figure 2-15. To ensure that displays are easily readable for customers/ cashiers of average height, display heads should be between 48” to 60” (122 to 152 cm) from the floor. Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper positioning of scale displays used in retail trade. NOTE Figure 2-15.
Remote Display Cabling Your installation should also take into account the routing of Remote Display cabling. Ensure that distance and obstacles spanned by the routed cable will not kink, pinch or stretch it. Also keep in mind you may need to drill a hole through which to route it. NOTE The Remote Scale Display connector end may be secured with a rubber band during shipping to prevent damage to the “locking tabs”. After routing the cable, remove this rubber band before connecting.

Changing Weighing Modes Your scanning-scale has been programmed for weighing in either pounds or kilograms depending upon the initial operating environment that was specified when you ordered your scanning-scale. If you need to change from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa, call Technical Support.
4. OPTIONAL — Route your EAS antenna cable down through the checkstand cutout. (Reference your EAS controller’s set-up instructions for proper EAS antenna installation.) Figure 2-22. Connecting Cables to the Scanner/Scale 0.00 POS Terminal POS TERMINAL Remote Display Aux.
Installation 1. Make sure that all cables are firmly attached (except that the AC/ DC power supply should not be connected to the AC outlet yet). 2. Remove the All Weighs™ Platter to gain access to the lift handles. Grasp the platter as shown in Figure 2-24 and gently lift it from the scanner. If the top edge of the platter is blocked, you may find it easier to grasp the platter vertical bezel as shown in Figure 2-24b. Figure 2-24.
3. Depending upon the model type, the method used to lift the unit will vary. For the first model type, hook the fingers of both hands into the lift handles located along the insides of the scanner walls, just above the debris chutes as shown in a. Other models contain lift handles that must be rotated up into position for use as shown in b. DO NOT attempt to lift the unit using the plastic edges, scale frame, or any features other than the lift handles. Figure 2-25. Using the Lift Handles ...
Figure 2-26. Using the Bubble Level OK OK NO Bubble Level 6. Reinstall the All Weighs™ Platter and verify that it is flush or just below flush with the countertop. This is necessary to provide smooth scanning from either direction. Make adjustments as needed to align the platter with the counter by moving support rails up or down, or consider installing screws in positions that will allow their use in adjusting the unit’s position. Ensure that leveling is maintained if adjustments are made.
System Power-Up Recap The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the requirements of your POS system. It is generally a good practice to power-down (switch off ) all equipment prior to connecting cables. Check with your System Supervisor and/or refer to your POS terminal manual for proper power-down and power-up procedures and interface requirements when connecting any peripheral device. If you have not identified any specific requirements for your POS system, follow these steps. 1.

Section 3 Operation and Maintenance The information contained in this section describes how to operate and maintain the scanner, scale and EAS system. Topics include “how to’s” on scanning, EAS tag deactivation, weighing, re-zeroing the scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the upper and lower windows. Scanning Items To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone as shown in Figure 3-1.
Proper Scanning Technique The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhancements for Point-Of-Sale (POS) scanning. To take advantage of these advancements: Practice the techniques below to improve scanning efficiency: 3-2 • Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 3-1). • Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, don’t favor either the horizontal or vertical scan windows. Keep items in their natural orientation.
Deactivating Security Labels Two different types of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems can be optionally enabled for certain scanner models. Your system may or may not be equipped with EAS deactivation functionality. NOTE Checkpoint Checkpoint® systems require a wired connection as shown in Figure 1-3a. When this system is armed, Checkpoint EAS-tagged items are automatically deactivated as they are slid over the scanner’s platter area during scanning.
EAS Deactivation Indicators The scanner can be programmed to beep in acknowledgement of deactivation or upon deactivation failure. Additionally, the tri-color indicator (the bottom-most LED) displays deactivation status. (For more information about Beeper and LED indications, see the LED/Beeper Indications & Controls section of this manual. Also reference the programming section for their configurable features.) By general default, LED indications are: • Green means the system is ready (standing by).
Proper Weighing Technique 1. The L-shaped All-Weighs™ platter allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including leaning against its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. The raised “Produce Rail” also provides a convenient way to ensure items do not rest on the counter or other non-weighing surfaces. (Reference Figure 3-2.) It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be accurately recorded. NOTE Figure 3-2.
Operational Controls The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for full details. Operational Modes The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are important to both the user and the system support personnel. These modes can be combined into three groups: pre-operational, operational, and additional functions.
Error Reporting If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the unit will not advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the unit to sound a long, low tone and/or display an error message on the 7segment display indicating where the failure occurred. These messages are coded to assist the repair technician in identifying the failed component. If the error is with the EAS deactivation system, the bottom-most LED will flash red.
at power-up. Removing the weight or pressing the Scale Zero Push Button should allow the scale to find zero. • When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest successfully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Operating Mode. Operating Mode Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning, EAS deactivation and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the user/operator.
Sleep Mode After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This state is called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press anywhere on the weigh platter (scanner/scale models only), press the Volume Selection switch or wave your hand in front of the vertical window.
Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more information, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation earlier in this section. Scale Adjustments The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration.
Calibrating the Scale The second adjustment, calibration, defines and sets a standard reference weight range against which all product weights are compared. If your scale is set for weighing in pounds, this range is 0 - 30 pounds, and, if your scale is set for weighing in kilograms, the range is 0 - 15 kilograms.
Operational Maintenance The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many years.

Section 5 Calibration Procedures, Single Interval This section applies to scanner/scale models with single interval ONLY. NOTE A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated.
Description of Calibration Sequence The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for weighing. This process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set (31.5-pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric. Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses the certified weight as a reference for subsequent weighing activities. These verification procedures follow the U.S.
Motion Test This test verifies that the scale will not ‘zero’ when the weighing surface of the scanner/scale is in motion. 1. Verify that the Yellow LED1 is on and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or 0.000 kilograms. 2. Press lightly on the weigh platter of the scanner/scale with one hand and at the same time press and release the Zero Push Button on the operator’s panel. The Yellow LED should turn Off and the Remote Display should not display 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration 1. Assure that the scanner/scale is stable, secure and properly installed. (Refer to Section 2, Site Preparation and Installation for instructions on the proper installation of the scanner/scale). 2. Power-up the scanner/scale. 3. Allow the unit to reach temperature equilibrium for at least one hour. If the scanner/scale is already at room temperature, allow at least 15 minutes for acclimatization. 4.
Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms) 1. Before proceeding, ensure that the scanner/scale has been prepared for this process by performing the preceding steps titled, Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration. 2. Remove the weigh platter and make sure that there are no obstructions in the debris chutes. 3. Locate the calibration switch access cover. Since the position of this cover varies depending upon the model, Figure 5-1a and Figure 5-1c illustrates the two possible locations it can be found. 4.
9. When the scale is ready, the Yellow LED will begin blinking again and the display will show the message “Ad20 (add twenty pounds)” or “Ad10 (add ten kilograms).” The scanner/scale will also sound one tone if the scale is weighing in kilograms or two tones for pounds. Place the correct weight (twenty pounds for calibration in pounds, or ten kilograms for metric calibration) from the Field Standard Weight set on the center of the weighing area and press the Zero Push Button again. 10.

Section 7 Programming Introduction to Label Programming The programming barcode labels contained in this manual will allow you to customize and configure features and settings for your scanner (scanner/scale). To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the programming barcodes in this manual and other product-specific publications to program scanner features.
Once you know the scanner’s current settings, you can determine what changes will be required to allow communication with your host system and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your installation. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this section, then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program the scanner. When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the scanner is ready to be placed into operation.
If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional information, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales representative. Programming Overview The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accommodate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways: 1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are available.
What Is Programming Mode? Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands via programming barcode labels. When programming using the barcode labels in this manual, the scanner is typically placed in Programming Mode by scanning the SWITCH label. While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the special programming barcodes contained in this programming guide. See Appendix A for information about scanner indications while in the Programming Mode.
Programming Session A typical programming session is conducted as follows: 1. Scan the SWITCH barcode to place the scanner in Programming Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the barcode and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled. 2. Scan the programming barcode(s) that is (are) specially encoded to make the desired changes.
NOTE It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one feature at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session. 3. Scan the SWITCH barcode to save any new settings and exit Programming Mode.
Programming Sequence To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming barcodes contained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 7-1). There are three possible programming sequences: NOTE If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming session.
Table 7-1. Programming Sequence SET A ITEM TAG ITEM VALUE END/RESET 1 2 3 SWITCH ENABLE NEW FEATURE SWITCH 1 2 345 6 0 B SWITCH C 7-8 ENABLE NEW FEATURE USING THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS...
LED and Beeper Indicators The scanner provides a set of indicators that verify/announce the various scanner functions. If You Make a Mistake... If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.
Test Mode Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that barcode data is not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the barcode to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS terminal. To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DISABLE barcode below. DO NOT scan the SWITCH barcode before and after scanning the barcodes on this page.
General Scanner and Scale Features Double Read Timeout The Double Read Timeout feature sets a time limit that determines how much time must pass before reading the same label again (e.g. two identical items in succession). To set the Double Read Timeout: 1. Scan the SWITCH barcode. 2. Scan your selection from the barcodes below. You’ll need to cover any unused barcodes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the barcode you intend to scan. 3.

Appendix F Handheld Data Format Requirements This appendix provides application notes to describe the general format of data that can be accepted by the scanner through the auxiliary port as transmitted from a handheld scanner. Handheld Data Format Requirements General • 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. • RTS is used to "bracket" the data received from the handheld: RTS must be asserted high during data transmission, and deasserted after label transmission is complete.
Datalogic Handheld Data Format Requirements The following sections describe label transmission formats that are typically observed in factory configurations of Datalogic handheld scanners. DataBar Omnidirectional • Prefix must be ASCII characters ‘R4’ • Check character must be included in label • Application identifier “01” must follow the prefix and preceed the base label • Label length excluding prefix characters must be 16 characters.
UPC-A with 5-Digit Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'A' - total length including prefix must be 18 • Example: 'A06099201118712345' UPC-A with Code 128 Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data. • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Supplemental data is appended to base label.
UPC-E with 2-Digit Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data. • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Supplemental data is appended to base label. • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'E' - total length including prefix must be 11. • Example: 'E0998875012'. UPC-E with 5-Digit Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data. • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.
EAN-8 • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Prefix must be an ASCII characters 'FF' - total length including prefix must be 10 • Example: 'FF00210126' EAN-8 with 2-Digit Supplemental • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Supplemental data is appended to base label. • Prefix must be an ASCII characters 'FF' - total length including prefix must be 12. • Example: 'FF0021012612'.
EAN-13 • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'F'- total length including prefix must be 14 • Example: 'F1101234567891' EAN-13 with 2-Digit Supplemental • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Supplemental data is appended to base label • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'F'- total length including prefix must be 16 • Example: 'F110123456789112' EAN-13 with 5-Digit Supplemental • Check
Code 39 • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including start, stop and check characters and excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Start and stop characters "*" must be included in label. • Prefix must be an ASCII character '*'. • Example : '**Code 39.TEST*'. Code 39-Code 32 • Check character must be included in label data.
Codabar • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including check character and excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Prefix must be an ASCII character '%'. • Start stop character sets must meet the matching requirement set forth by the scanner configuration item Codabar Start Stop Character Match.
MSI/Plessey • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including check character and excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Prefix must be an ASCII character '@'. • Example: '@144769254'. Code 93 • Prefix must be an ASCII character '&'.
• Example: ']E00060992011187'. UPC-E • AIM does not specify UPC-E as a separate symbology using this transmission format - labels will be transmitted as EAN-13. • Example: ']E00000000998875'. EAN-13 • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E0'- total length including prefix must be 16. • Example: ']E01101234567891'. EAN-8 • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.
5-Digit Supplemental • Supplemental data is appended to any EAN base label. • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E2'. • Length of supplemental data including prefix must be 8. Total required length is 24 for EAN-13 and 19 for EAN-8. • Examples: addon portion is highlighted data is underlined.
Code 39 • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including start, stop and check characters and excluding prefix characters must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Start and stop characters "*" must be included in label. • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']A0' or ']A1'. • Example: '*]A0Code 39.TEST*'. Codabar • Check character must be included in label data.
Code 93 • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']G0'. • Label length excluding prefix characters must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Example : ']G0Code93-test'. DataBar Omnidirectional • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']e0'. • Check character must be included in label. • Label length excluding prefix characters must be 14 characters. • Example: ']e001044123456789'.
• If EAN-128 Symbology is Enabled and prefix is ']C1', label will be identified as an EAN128 otherwise it is identified as a Code 128. • A prefix of ']C0' designates that no function code is present in the 1st or 2nd character position. • A prefix of ']C2' designates that a function code 1 is present in the 2nd character. • Example : ']C0Code_128.Test'. PDF417 F-14 • Prefix must be an ASCII characters ']L0'. • Label length excluding prefix character cannot exceed 300 characters.
