How to set up optical scanners?
Note: For optimal performance in the optical reading of barcodes, ensure that the scanner can be configured for:
- Language: It should have the same language as defined on the computer in use.
- AIM Code (AIM Code): A prefix that identifies the type of barcode read (usually with the symbol ] followed by two characters: d2, A0, etc.).
- Group Separator (or Global Suffix): A constant suffix in 2D barcodes (datamatrix, QRCode, etc.), indicating to the application that a certain block of information has ended, and another will begin.
