Barcode Tab 165
E-EQ-HX2RG-B HX2 Reference Guide
Enable Code ID
This parameter programs the ring scanner to transmit the specified Code ID and/or determines the
type of barcode identifier being processed.
Transmission of the Code ID is enabled at the scanner for all barcode symbologies, not for an
individual symbology. Code ID is sent from the scanner so the scanner driver can discriminate
between symbologies.
Options
None Programs the scanner to disable transmission of a Code ID. The only entry in the
Symbology popup list is All.
AIM Programs the scanner to transmit the AIM ID with each barcode. The combo box in
the Symbology control panel is loaded with the known AIM ID symbologies for that
platform, plus any configured Custom code IDs.
Symbol Programs the scanner to transmit the Symbol ID with each barcode. The combo box
in the Symbology control panel is loaded with the known Symbol ID symbologies
for that platform, plus any configured Custom Code IDs.
Custom Does not change the scanner’s Code ID transmission setting. The combo box in the
Symbology control panel is loaded with any configured Custom Code IDs.
Notes
• When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is not enabled, the code ID is sent as part of
the barcode data to an application.
• When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is enabled, the entire Code ID string is
stripped (i.e. treated as a Code ID).
• UPC/EAN Codes only: The code id for supplemental barcodes is not stripped.
• When Enable Code ID is set to AIM or Symbol, Custom Code IDs appear at the end of the
list of standard Code IDs.
• When Enable Code ID is set to Custom, Custom Code IDs replace the list of standard Code
IDs.
• When Enable Code ID is set to Custom, AIM or Symbol Code IDs must be added to the
end of the Custom Code ID. For example, if a Custom Code ID ‘AAA’ is created to be
read in combination with an AIM ID for Code 39 ‘]A1’, the Custom Code ID must be
entered with the AIM ID code first then the Custom Code ID : ]A1AAA.
• When Enable Code ID is set to None, Code IDs are ignored.
• Custom symbologies appear at the end of the list in the Symbology dialog, but will be
processed at the beginning of the list in the scanner driver. This allows custom IDs, based
on actual code IDs, to be processed before the Code ID.
• When using the parameters in the mobile device OS Scanner Control Panel to manage
indicators for good read/bad read decoding, the number or patterns of beeps heard may be
confusing. Rejected barcodes generate a bad scan beep. In some cases, the receipt of data
from the scanner triggers a good scan beep, and then the rejection of scanned barcode data
by the Scanner Control Panel processing causes a bad scan beep by the mobile device on
the same data
