Barcode Label Restrictions
The Scalar 10K supports a range of media labels. With mixed
media enabled, some additional restrictions apply.
All labels are restricted to sixteen character (in extended
mode) and six character (in default and mixed media mode)
barcodes. In default and mixed media mode, for specific
SDLT media labels which contain an embedded seventh or
eighth character in the label, the additional characters are
stripped off by firmware. AIT (8 mm) labels contain an
embedded checksum character that, in default and mixed
media mode, is stripped off by the firmware. In extended
mode, all media characters, and checksums are saved. For
examples of supported barcode labels, see Figure 5-11.
