concatenation of neighboring symbols, and 4) the standard layout

for bar codes on a blood product label. Use the bar codes below to

the data received does not display with the proper characters, it

may be because the bar code being scanned was created using a

code page that is different from the one the host program is

expecting. If this is the case, scan the bar code below, select the

code page with which the bar codes were created, and scan the

value and the Save The data characters should then appear

properly. Default = 2.
