PSC PowerScan Manuale Utente

The Standard 2 of 5/IATA symbologies have the following program-
mable features:

Check Digit

Label Length Format

Read Verification

Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit 
contained in the bar code label is correct.  If you enable this feature, 
your bar codes must contain a Check Digit.

If the Check Digit is not calculated, the digit will be sent regardless of 
settings for transmit or don’t transmit.  For example, if you choose to 
Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check 
Digit encoded in the bar code without verifying its accuracy.

Label length format permits the selection between variable length or 
fixed length formats. For best performance it is recomended to use the 
Fixed Length settings when your application requires only one or two 
label lengths.

 - directs the scanner to read all labels from the 

minimum label length to 50. Set Minimum Length as high as your 
application allows.

 - selects the minimum label length 

that the scanner will recognize. The minimum label length for 
this symbology must be between 01 and 50

1

.

 - directs the scanner to read only one or two label 

lengths.

If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for pro-
gramming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths.  The 
labels are:

 - instructs the scanner that the next two 

programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label 
length. This setting must be between 01 and 50

 characters.

 - instructs the scanner that the next 

two programming labels scanned will define the second fixed 
label length. This setting must be between 01 and 50

characters.

1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read 

will vary depending upon the interface type, and bar code physical size and quality.
