Multisymbol
Number of Symbols
Definition: Multisymbol allows the user to define up to six bar code symbols that
can be read in a single read cycle.
Usage: Multisymbol is commonly used in shipping applications where a ship-
ping symbol contains individual symbols for part number, quantity, etc.
This feature allows one trigger to pick up all the symbols. AIAG and
UCC/EAN- 128 are two application standards that address this need.
Conditions The following conditions apply:
1. All noread messages are posted at the end of the data string.
2. If more than one symbol is within the scan beam at the same time,
symbol data may not be displayed in the order of appearance.
3. If Matchcode Type is set to Sequential or if Trigger is set to
Continuous Read 1 Output, Number of Symbols will default to
1 (if set to any number greater than 1).
4. The maximum number of characters in any one bar code (other
than PDF417) is 64.
5. The maximum number of characters in a single scan line is 102
(Code 39).
6. The maximum number of characters for all symbols is 392, includ-
ing preamble, separators, and LRC.
Definition: Number of Symbols is the number of different symbols that can be
read in a single read cycle.
