Straight 2 of 5 IATA (two-bar start/stop)

Straight 2 of 5 IATA On/Off
Straight 2 of 5 IATA Redundancy
If you are encountering errors when reading Straight 2 of 5 IATA bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count.  
Redundancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of 
errors.  Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code.  To adjust the redundancy, 
scan the Straight 2 of 5 IATA Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the 
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.  Then scan the Save bar code.  Default = 0.
Straight 2 of 5 IATA Message Length
Scan the bar codes below to change the message length.  Refer to Message Length Description (page 8-1) for additional 
information.  Minimum and Maximum lengths = 1-80.  Minimum Default = 13, Maximum Default = 15.

Matrix 2 of 5 Check Character
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Matrix 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a 
check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.  
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner only reads Matrix 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a 
check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.  Default = No Check Character.
Matrix 2 of 5 Redundancy
If you are encountering errors when reading Matrix 2 of 5 bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count.  Redun-
dancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of errors.  
Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code.  To adjust the redundancy, scan 
the Matrix 2 of 5 Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming 
Chart inside the back cover of this manual.  Then scan the Save bar code.  Default = 0.

Check Digits Required
These options set whether 1 or 2 check digits are required with Code 11 bar codes.  Auto Select Check Digits determines 
the number of check digits based on the length of the bar code.  If the bar code is 10 digits or more, 2 check digits are 
required.  If it is 9 digits or less, 1 check digit is required.  The check digit data is only transmitted if you program that feature 
(see Check Digit Validation on page 8-16).  Default = Two Check Digits Required.

128 Group Separator Output
If you wish to transmit embedded FNC1 characters as group separators (1B hex) with your Code 128 bar code output, scan 
the On bar code.  When Off is scanned, nothing is transmitted for FNC1 characters.  Default =Off.
Code 128 Redundancy
If you are encountering errors when reading Code 128 bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count.  Redun-
dancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of errors.  
Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code.  To adjust the redundancy, scan 
the Code 128 Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart 
inside the back cover of this manual.  Then scan the Save bar code.  Default = 0.

ISBT 128 Concatenation
In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard for communicating critical blood informa-
tion in a uniform manner.  The use of ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification 
describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128 due to 
its high degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation of neigh-
boring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product label.  Use the bar codes below to turn concat-
enation on or off.  Default =Off.
Concatenation Timeout
When searching for bar codes during concatenation, you may wish to set a delay used to find the next bar code.  Set the 
length (in milliseconds) for this delay by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) 
by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.  Default = 750.

ISBT 128 Predefined Concatenation Sequences
Note: You must enable Code 128 and ISBT 128 to use this feature.
The following bar codes are used to select the pre-defined ISBT 128 Concatenation Sequence you wish to use.  Once you 
have selected the concatenation sequence, use ISBT 128 Predefined Concatenation Sequences On/Off to enable this fea-
ture.  Default = Donation ID Number (001)
and ABO/RhD Blood Groups (002).
ISBT 128 Predefined Concatenation Sequences On/Off
The following selections allow you to enable or require the Predefined ISBT 128 Concatenation Sequences.  
If you scan Off, the predefined concatenation sequences are disabled.
If you scan the Allow Predefined Sequence code, then the scanner will output only the data combination specified in the 
predefined concatenation sequence you selected.  
If you scan the Require Predefined Sequence code, the data combination specified in the predefined concatenation 
sequence you selected is required to transmit the data.  No data is output unless the sequence is read.

ISBT 128 User-Defined Concatenation Sequences
Note: You must enable Code 128 and ISBT 128 to use this feature.
The following bar codes are used to create a custom ISBT 128 Concatenation Sequence.  Select the identifiers you want to 
transmit in the 1st and 2nd positions, both left and right.  Refer to the ISBT 128 Standard Technical Specification for the list 
of data identifiers.
Use the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2, to find the characters needed for the identifier.  Locate the 
hex value for each character and scan that 2 digit/character value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this 
manual.
Example:  You want to create a concatenation sequence that has the Donation Identification Number (001) as the left iden-
tifier, and Product Code (003) as the right identifier.  
The ISBT Index of Data Structures shows that for the Donation Identification Number, the first character is “=” and the sec-
ond character can be from A-N; P-Z; 1-9.  For this example, use “G.”  The Product Code first character is “=” and the second 
character is “

ISBT 128 User-Defined Concatenation Sequences On/Off
The following selections allow you to enable or require the User-Defined ISBT 128 Concatenation Sequences.  
If you scan Off, the User-Defined concatenation sequences are disabled.
If you scan the Allow User-Defined Sequence code, then the scanner will output only the data combination specified in 
the User-Defined concatenation sequence you created.  
If you scan the Require User-Defined Sequence code, the data combination specified in the User-Defined concatenation 
sequence is required to transmit the data.  No data is output unless the sequence is read. 
Default = Off.
Content Verification
When the On bar code is scanned, the check character values are output along with the bar code data, thus allowing you to 
verify that the check character is in agreement with that calculated for the data stream.  Default = Off.

Transmit Identifiers
You may disable the transmission of the ISBT Code 128 data identifiers by scanning Off.  When this selection is Off, the 
first 2 data (ID) characters are removed from the data stream unless the ISBT code contains the Donation Identification 
Number identifiers.  If the code contains the Donation Identification Number identifiers, only the first ID character is 
removed from the Donation Identification Number.  The second character is transmitted as normal data.  Default = On.
Flag Digit Conversion
Type 3 flag digits are a part of the Donation Identification Number in an ISBT 128 bar code.  If you select On, the flag data 
is converted into a single MOD (37, 2) character and transmitted with the bar code data.  Scan Off if you do not want the 
flag digits transmitted.  Default = Off.
