Barcode Interpretation Definition
A Barcode Interpretation Definition uses a string pattern to identify the barcodes format and handle the barcode accordingly.
The string pattern allows the disection, translation or substitution of a barcode to identify Customer-ID, Media-ID and Volume-ID.
To view, add, remove or alter current Barcode Interpretation Definitions, open the Barcode Administration window in TapeMaster.
Barcode Administration
When TapeTrack is installed the Barcode Administration window comes with generic barcode definitions pre-installed. These barcode definitions will handle the majority of standard barcode formats. If you use a custom format of barcodes or deal with Customers that do you will need to add barcode definitions to instruct TapeTrack how to read them.
Barcode definition are read by TapeTrack from the top of the list (position 000) sequentially to the last definition, stopping when a match is found. It is therefore important to make sure your list is structured in such a way that the correct barcode definition is used to parse the barcodes.
