Send Start/Stop Characters

giving 16 unique Start/Stop character combinations. Some applications
require that these characters be transmitted with the data while others

Check Digit
When Check Digit is selected, the reader takes the last character in the
decoded data stream as a check digit. It then calculates the correct
check digit for the remaining data and compares it to the last data
character. If it is the same, the data is accepted. If not, the data is
rejected. With the Calculate and Send Check Digit option, the reader will
send the check digit as part of the data stream. If the Calculate but not
Send Check Digit option is selected, the reader will strip it from the data
stream before transmission. If the Check Digit is not calculated, the
reader will assume the last data character read from the symbol is part of
the data stream and will not make a comparison test.
