Codabar
Scanning the Default bar code will program the 3700 Wedge to the symbology
options indicated by a ✱" in the menu selections on this and the following
programming page.
Codabar is a discrete, twoĆwidth symbology capable of encoding
variableĆlength messages from the set of numerics 0 through 9, and the$:/.
+ - characters. Any one of the four start/stop characters A,B,C, or D can be
used as a start or a stop character; often the same character is used for both.
Default = On.
Start / Stop Characters
The start and stop characters are used to identify the leading and trailing ends
of the bar code. Since theyare not considered part of the message they are not
ordinarily transmitted,though the reader can be programmedto transmit them.
Default = Don't Transmit.
Decoding
The 3700 Wedge uses industry standard decoding algorithms to ensure data
integrity. Adaptive decoding employs a more aggressive decoding algorithm
that is more tolerant when bar code symbols do not conform to the symbology
specifications and that results in snappier" scanning. Default = Adaptive.

Programming Tip: If a symbology won't be used, we recommend turning it off
to minimize the chance of a misread.
