Format Conventions for Bar Codes
You can scan the bar codes listed in this manual to enter data or perform a
command. The bar code labels in this manual are printed in the Code 39
symbology. Each bar code includes the name and human-readable
interpretation. For example:
The asterisks (*) at the beginning and end of the human-readable interpretation
are the start and stop codes for a Code 39 bar code label. If you are creating bar
code labels with a bar code utility, it may automatically supply the asterisks as
the start and stop code, so that you only need to type the actual text of the
command. You can also create and print configuration labels and reader
command labels in Code 93, which has its own start and stop codes.
Other Related Manuals
You may need to refer to other manuals when working with JANUS
900 MHz terminal emulation software. To order additional manuals, contact
your local Intermec representative.
