Barcode Merges: Overview and Solution

Barcode merges can occur in various operational scenarios, leading to potential discrepancies or inefficiencies in data capture processes. To address such challenges, configuring barcode scanners correctly is essential. Below are the settings for enabling the Carriage Return feature on the Honeywell scanners (Model: Xenon 1900), issued by Rabot.


Examples of Merged Barcodes:

  1. Single Barcode Misread as Two Barcodes: A barcode like 123456789012 might get split into 123456 and 789012 due to improper scanner configuration.

  2. Two Barcodes Combined into One: Separate barcodes ABC123 and DEF456 might be read as a single barcode ABC123DEF456 when scanned in quick succession without proper delimiters.

  3. Truncated Barcodes: A long barcode such as 12345678901234567890 may appear truncated as 123456789012345 because of buffer limitations or incorrect settings.

In order to resolve such issues, enabling carriage return settings on your barcode scanner can help alleviate the barcode merges.


Steps to Enable Carriage Return

  1. Scan the following barcode on your Honeywell Xenon 1900 scanner to configure the Carriage Return functionality:

  2. For Zebra Symbol DS2278-SR Scanners. use the below code to configure the Carriage Return functionality:

This setting ensures that each scan automatically appends a carriage return, improving data handling efficiency and accuracy.
