Dataworks Code 39

Yahoo Archive
1
I have been dealing with this issue recently as we are getting ready to
convert from time card labor entry to shop floor data collection. I have a
Symbol scanner - I had to do as Todd suggests and turn on full ASCII mode.
My scanner did not come with this enabled. Since I did that, I have been
able to automate quite a bit of the entries into Vantage. I am getting
ready to tackle the traveler next! Thanks to Todd and Greg Krumrey - you
are my heroes :o)

In my scanner manual (Welch-Allyn ImageTeam 3800) there is a scan bar to
turn on (or off) "full mode". I have not had to use it because it appears
"Full" is on by default. This code would probably be specific to the
brand/model of scanner so check you manual or perhaps tech support for
your
scanner. You might also try another code like the F6 example on any
Vantage
screen and see if the print screen window pops up. This might seperate a
problem with full mode from an issue with the ETX/EOT for the ALT-A.

When I send *$CA$D* (printed in Dataworks Code 39)as a Start Activity
command, I get $D entered into the Job Number. Either I've failed to
modify
my scanner's settings, or the Dataworks Code 39 that I'm printing is not
the

same as the Barcode 39 that the scanner is reading.
Any comments?

Hi Group,

Does anyone know the Dataworks Code 39 codes that could be scanned to manuver through data collection? I'm looking for codes that perform the keyboard's functions like Alt-A, Esc, Tab, F2, etc.

I have a PSC QuickScan 6000+ with a keyboard wedge that I'd like the shop employees to use instead of the data collection station's keyboard and mouse. We using Version 4.0.904

Thanks

If your scanner supports "Full Mode" for Code-39 (check the manual, most do)
then ALT-x keys can be accomplished by using the following sequences. Full
mode adds many normally non-Code39 characters by using two character combos.
Each ALT seqeuence is started by the ASCII ETX character which in full mode
would be $C, it is ended with the EOT character $D. Anything between (like
A) would be ALTed as if you held down the Alt key and press A. So the full
string would be (with the required * at each end) "*$CA$D*" for Alt-A.
Note, I have not tried this particular string but others like "*$M*" for
Enter work.

The Full Code39 ASCII equivalents for the others are:
ESC = %A
TAB or HT (horizontal tab) = $I ( that's a letter 'eye')
F2 = ASCII ETB = $W
F6 = ASCII ESC = %A (as above) but is useful for Print Screen
CR = $M

I've a barcode "data collection flow sheet" attempt from a while back
that might be helpful.

If you would like it, email ldrew@... (NOT the Yahoo
address lonniedrew) and I'll reply with the doc.

Here's a pretty complete list. ......


Full ASCII Extension to Code 39


"Full ASCII Code 39" expands the Code 39 character set to include all 128
ASCII characters.

Symbols 0-9, A-Z and punctuation characters . and - are identical to Code 39
characters.

Lower case letters, additional punctuation symbols and control characters
are represented

by two-character sequences. This gives Full ASCII Code 39 a character set
suitable for any

application, but the cost of halving CPI for the lower case and other added
characters.


This table shows the Full ASCII Code 39 character set as a function of Code
39 characters.
