Barcode - Symbology SettingsBarcode - Symbology SettingsThe Symbology selected in the Symbologies dialog defines the symbology for which the data is being configured. The featuresavailable on the Symbology Settings dialog include the ability to individually enable or disable a barcode from scanning, set theminimum and maximum size barcode to accept, strip Code ID, strip data from the beginning or end of a barcode, or (based onconfigurable Barcode Data) add a prefix or suffix to a barcode.The Symbology drop-down box contains all symbologies supported on the HX2. An asterisk appears in front of symbologiesthat have already been configured or have been modified from the default value.Each time a Symbology is changed, the settings are saved as soon as the OK button is clicked. Settings are also saved whena new Symbology is selected from the Symbology drop-down list.Clear Button -- Clicking this button will erase any programmed overrides, returning to the default settings for the selectedsymbology. If Clear is pressed when All is selected as the symbology, a confirmation dialog appears, then all symbologies arereset to their factory defaults, and all star (*) indications are removed from the list of Symbologies.The order in which these settings are processed are:• Min / Max• Code ID• Leading / Trailing• Barcode Data• Prefix / SuffixNote: When Enable Code ID is set to None on the Barcode tab and when All is selected in the Symbology field, Enableand Strip Code ID on the Symbology panel are grayed and the user is not allowed to change them, to preventdeactivating the scanner completely.When All is selected in the Symbology field and the settings are changed, the settings in this dialog become the defaults, usedunless overwritten by the settings for individual symbologies. This is also true for Custom IDs, where the code IDs to bestripped are specified by the user.Note: In Custom mode on the Barcode tab, any Code IDs not specified by the user will not be stripped, because they willnot be recognized as Code IDs.If a specific symbology's settings have been configured, a star (*) will appear next to it in the Symbology drop-down box, so theuser can tell which symbologies have been modified from their defaults.If a particular symbology has been configured, the entire set of parameters from that symbologies screen are in effect for thatsymbology. In other words, either the settings for the configured symbology will be used, or the default settings are used, not acombination of the two.If a symbology has not been configured (does not have an * next to it) the settings for All are used which is not necessarily thedefault.E-EQ-HX2RG-M [ 156 ] HX2 Reference Guide
