CHAPTER 4 SYMBOLOGIES Introduction This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. The barcode scanner is shipped with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2. If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To change a parameter value: • Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory.
4 - 2 Barcode Scanner Configuration Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 4-19. The barcode scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes.

APPENDIX D SIGNATURE CAPTURE CODE Introduction CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature. There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form. For example, on the federal tax return 1040 form there are three signature areas, one each for two joint filers, and one for a professional preparer.
D-2 Barcode Scanner Configuration Guide CapCode Pattern Structure A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces. A 7X quiet zone is required to the left and to the right of the CapCode pattern.
Signature Capture Code D-3 Table D-2 lists selectable parameters used to generate the image of the captured signature. Table D-2 User Defined CapCode Parameters Parameter Defined Width Number of pixels Height Number of pixels Format JPEG, BMP, TIFF JPEG quality 1 (most compression) to 100 (best quality) Bits Per Pixel (not applicable to JPEG format) 1 (2 levels) 4 (16 levels) 8 (256 levels) BMP format does not use compression, JPEG and TIFF formats do.
D-4 Barcode Scanner Configuration Guide Additional Capabilities Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up. A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a bar code. You can disable the signature capturing capability in a barcode scanner.
