6.25.2.21 PosiCode (Reduced Space Symbology)
Enable
Setting this parameter to on enables “PosiCode” scanning capability.
PosiCode
“PosiCode” is a “position” based symbology. A position based symbology de-
couples the widths of the bars from their positions. The centers of the bars are
specified to be laid out on a grid of equally spaced parallel lines. The distance
between these grid lines is called the G-dimension and is analogous to the X-
dimension of conventional bar codes.
There are two variations of this code: PosiCode A, and PosiCode B. The options
available with this parameter allow to choose A and B, A and B and Limited A or
A and B and Limited B.
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 – 1
to 80.
Field Size/Char
Refer to page 148 for details.
6.25.2.22 Composite
Important: To successfully read this type of bar code, the two types of
symbologies included in a composite bar code must be enabled.
A composite symbol includes multi-row 2D components making it compatible with
linear and area CCD scanners along with linear and rastering laser scanners.
The options available for this parameter represent multi-level components of a
composite symbol.
GS1 128
“GS1 128” is the GS1 implementation of the Code 128 barcode specification. The
former correct name was UCC/EAN-128.
