For example, select MSI Plessey Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 6, 1, 4, to decode only MSI Plessey symbols containing 6 or 14 characters. Numeric bar codes begin on Appendix B. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel on Appendix B. Length Within Range - Select this option to decode codes within a specified range.
5.11.3 MSI Check Digits These check digits at the end of the bar code verify the integrity of the data. At least one check digit is always required. Check digits are not automatically transmitted with the data. If two check digits are selected, also select an MSI Check Digit Algorithm. (please refer to 5.11.5 MSI Check Digit Algorithm) 5.11.4 Transmit MSI Check Digit Scan this symbol to transmit the check digit with the data. Scan this symbol to transmit data without the check digit.
5.11.5 MSI Check Digit Algorithm When the Two MSI check digits option is selected, an additional verification is required to ensure integrity. Select one of the following algorithms. 5.12 GS1 DataBar 5.12.1 GS1 DataBar-14 To enable or disable GS1 DataBar-14, scan the appropriate bar code below.
5.12.2 GS1 DataBar Limited To enable or disable GS1 DataBar Limited, scan the appropriate bar code below. 5.12.3 GS1 DataBar Expanded To enable or disable GS1 DataBar Expanded, scan the appropriate bar code below. 5.12.4 Convert GS1 DataBar to UPC/EAN This parameter only applies to GS1 DataBar-14 and GS1 DataBar Limited symbols.
parameter to transmit the system character and country code applies to converted bar codes. Note that neither the system character nor the check digit can be stripped. 5.13 Transmit Code ID Character A code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This can be useful when decoding more than one code type. The code ID character is inserted between the prefix character (if selected) and the decoded symbol.
5.14 Linear Code Type Security Level The MS916 offers four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g. Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Select higher security levels for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scan engine’s aggressiveness decreases. Select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
Linear Security Level 2 All code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded. Linear Security Level 3 Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times: Code Type Length MSI 4 or less D 2 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less Linear Security Level 4 All code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded.
5.15 Bi-directional Redundancy This parameter is only valid when a Linear Code Type Security Level is enabled (please refer to 5.14 Linear Code Type Security Level). When this parameter is enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before being decoded.
Appendix A Miscellaneous Code Information Appendix A: Miscellaneous Code Information AIM Code Identifiers Each AIM Code Identifier contains the three-character string ]cm where: ] = Flag Character (ASCII 93) c = Code Character (see Table A-2) m = Modifier Character (see Table A-3).
The modifier character is the sum of the applicable option values based on the following table. Table A-2 Modifier Characters Code Type Option Value Option Code 39 0 No Check character or Full ASCII processing. 1 Reader has checked one check character. 3 Reader has checked and stripped check character. 4 Reader has performed Full ASCII character conversion. 5 Reader has performed Full ASCII character conversion and checked one check character.
Code Type Option Value Option Codabar 0 No check digit processing. 1 Reader has checked check digit. Example: A Codabar bar code without check digit, 4123, is transmitted as ]F04123 Code 93 0 No options specified at this time. Always transmit 0. Example: A Code 93 bar code 012345678905 is transmitted as ]G0012345678905 MSI 0 Mod 10 check digit checked and transmitted. 1 Mod 10 check digit checked but not transmitted.
According to AIM standards, a UPC with supplemental bar code is transmitted in the following format: ]E0 (UPC chars) (terminator) ]E2 (supplemental) (terminator) In the SE955, however, the format is changed to: ]E0 (UPC chars) ]E2 (supplemental) Therefore, a UPC with two supplemental characters, 01234567890510, is transmitted to the host as a 21-character string, ]E00012345678905]E110. Setting Code Lengths Via Serial Commands There are two lengths (L1 and L2) for each variable length code type.
Appendix B Numeric Bar Codes Appendix B: Numeric Bar Codes For parameters requiring specific numeric values, scan the appropriately numbered bar code(s). Cancel To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the bar code below.
