Chapter 5: Configuration Decoded (HHP) Minimum And Maximum Length The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s). Double-tapping on these parameters displays a screen in which you can set the minimum and maximum allowable code lengths – 0 to 80. Field Size/Char Refer to page 143 for details. 5.10.3.12 Codabar Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “Codabar”.
Chapter 5: Configuration Decoded (HHP) Concatenation “Codabar” supports symbol concatenation. When you enable Concatenation, the imager looks for a Codabar symbol with a “D” start character that is adjacent to a symbol with a “D” stop character. In this case, the two messages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted. Minimum And Maximum Length The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s).
Chapter 5: Configuration Decoded (HHP) Plessey Minimum And Plessey Maximum Length These parameters apply to Plessey bar codes.The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s).
