Enable Code ID
This parameter programs the 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
l None: Programs an internal scanner to disable transmission of a code ID. After clicking the Symbology Settings button,
the only entry on the Symbology listing is All, plus any configured custom IDs. Select this option to disable Code ID
processing. The barcode data is received, but is not checked for a Code ID.
l Custom: Does not change the internal scanner’s Code ID transmission setting. After clicking the Symbology Settings
button, the Symbology listing includes all Custom Code IDs. Select this option to enable processing of barcodes with a
custom Code ID.
Notes
l When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is not enabled, the code ID is sent as part of the barcode data to an
application.
l When Strip: Code ID (see Symbology panel) is enabled, the entire Code ID string is stripped (i.e. treated as a Code ID).
l UPC/EAN Codes only: The code id for supplemental barcodes is not stripped.
l When Enable Code ID is set to None, Code IDs are ignored.
l 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.
l When using the parameters in the 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 an external 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.
