Split/merge
mode
E Enables compound code reading in edit mode.
B Enables compound code reading in batch edit mode.
C Enables compound code reading in non-edit mode.
The mode specified last will be valid if multiple modes are specified.
It is not possible to read split QR code symbols without specifying a split/merge mode.
[Ex.] To enable the BHT to read compound codes:
RdType = " Q:M5-14E;L1-40;S1-4"
When reading a compound code in edit mode, the maximum data length is 8,192 bytes. If the data
exceeds 8,192 bytes, a read error will occur, the beeper will sound for 1 sec, and the read data will be
destroyed.
When a compound code is read in non-edit mode, the read data is stored in the barcode buffer in the
following format:
Sub-code no
Number of sub-codes Parity Read data
Sub-code no., No. of sub-codes: 1 byte (hex.) (0 – F)
Parity: 2 bytes (hex.) (00 − FF)
The sub-code number, number of sub-codes, and parity are converted into hexadecimal
characters.
The sub-code number is expressed in hexadecimal notation; for example, 0 (30h) for the
first, and F (46h) for the 16
th
. Likewise, the number of sub-codes is expressed in
hexadecimal notation; for example, 1 (31h) when splitting into 2 divisions, and F (46h) when
splitting into 16 divisions.
The parity is provided for sum checking of the read data. It also serves as a delimiter between that
sub-code and another sub-code.
When reading a compound code, the beeper sounds as follows: Upon reading the first
sub-code of a compound code, it beeps twice, signaling the start of compound code reading
mode. Thereafter, the beeper sounds once each time a sub-code is read, except the last
one, for which the beeper sounds three times, signaling the end of compound code reading
mode.
All split sub-codes within a compound code must be read, regardless of the read order. Once read, a
split sub-code cannot be read again until all other split sub-codes within the compound code have been
read.
In any of the following events, compound code reading will be terminated, even if reading of the entire
compound code is not complete. If reading is terminated in this manner when in edit mode, all data
read up to that point will be deleted.
