SYMBOLOGIES
This section provides the following information:
Enable/Disable Barcodes - These barcodes allow you to enable or disable symbologies.
Check Digit Barcodes - The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity
of the data. It is always verified to guarantee the integrity of the data (applies to UPC-A/UPC-E and
Code 39 only).
Preamble Barcodes - Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol consisting of Country Code
and System character. Three options are given for transmitting UPC-A preamble to the host device:
transmit System Character only, transmit System Character and Country Code ("0" for USA) and no
preamble transmitted (applies to UPC-A/UPC-E only).
Conversion Barcodes - Allow you to convert UPC and Code 39 barcodes.

Convert UPC-E to UPC-A
Enable this to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After
conversion, the data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g.,
Preamble, Check Digit).
When disabled, UPC-E decoded data is transmitted as UPC-E data, without conversion.
Convert UPC-E1 to UPC-A
Enable this to convert UPC-E1 decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, the data follows
UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit).
When disabled, UPC-E1 decoded data is transmitted as UPC-E1 data, without conversion.

Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF)
Enable/Disable Interleaved 2 of 5
Due to the construction of the I 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a
portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the
bar code. To prevent this, select specific lengths (I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length - Two Discrete
Lengths) for I 2 of 5 applications.
