M3000 Bar Code Reader User's Guide
5-24
Field Requirements:
•
Bar Code Types is required
• 1 to 11 characters allowed
NOTE: This does not enable or disable any bar code decoders that have been selected in the
M3000 SETUP function. This only specifies which bar codes are allowed at this input.
If a bar code is scanned by the operator that is not an allowed Bar Code Type, the
M3000 will sound three long beeps, display an error message, and will not accept the
bar code.
Bar Code Append
Bar Code Append allows the operator to scan multiple bar codes into the current input field. The
operator must press the ENTER key, or scan a Carriage Return (ASCII 13 ) bar code to advance to
the next input. Scanning a Back Space (ASCII 8) bar code clears the current input field.
Field Requirements: YES or NO (Y or N) input required
Bar Code Auto Advance
This feature allows the operator to scan bar codes and advance to the next input without having to
press any keys on the keyboard. When Bar Code Auto Advance is specified YES or Y, the
M3000 appends a carriage return to the end of the bar code data. The operator must scan a valid
input before the M3000 will advance to the next input.
Field Requirements: YES or NO (Y or N) input required
Allow Duplicate Inputs
This feature allows the operator to scan duplicate bar codes (ar codes having the same data) during
input.
Field Requirements: YES or NO (Y or N) input required
Default Data
Default Data is a sequence of characters that appears automatically the first time an input is
presented for data entry. For example, if the Default Data input is specified as "100", the
operator sees "100" on this input for each record, and has the choice of accepting or changing the
input.
By specifying the @ as the Input Data, the M3000 defaults to the data or value that is in this
input's previous record. Subsequent records continue to use the most recently entered data as the
Default Data
value until the operator enters a new value.
Any characters defined after the @, as in "@123", are used as the default on the first occurrence of
this input. For example, if you want the operator to see "123" in this input, you would type in
"@123". If the operator changed the characters in this input from "123" to "ABC", this input field
then defaults to "ABC" for each subsequent entry. If a default from previous entry is used on the
first input on a new screen, and menu option "Auto Advance" is set to ON, the M3000 will
automatically advance the cursor past the default data and stop in the next input when the number
of digits in the default data satisfies the input field requirements. If users need to change the default
they can use the cursor keys to enter the default data field and manually input the new value.
NOTE: If you want to default using the @ character as the first character of your default data,
specify the null character "/00" as the first character of the default data field.
Field Requirements:
•
Default Data is not required
• 0 to 32 maximum characters allowed
• alpha, numeric, and all other ASCII characters are accepted
