Troubleshooting Refer to “Communication Setup” on page 100 for information on activating options. • Verify connectivity by doing the following: • If a wired LAN is used, verify that the network cables are connected. • If a wireless LAN is used, verify that the WIFI module is inserted in the USB port on the device, and the wireless networking setting is configured properly.

Creating Barcodes The following sections provide the information you need to configure barcodes. The barcode reader can read Code 39, 39EX, 128, PDF-417 (2-D), Interleaved Code 2 of 5, and Data Matrix barcodes. Regardless of which code is used, the site’s IT department must do the following: •...
Creating Barcodes Configuring the Barcode Reader Manually To configure the barcode reader manually, you need to enter the following information on the system Patient Setup window. Field Number of bytes ________ Total number of bytes ________ Patient ID offset ________ Patient ID length ________ First name offset...

Creating Barcodes Field Length Patient ID Last name First name Gender You would set up this information as follows: 99999999996666666666666665555555555F Because the barcode is set up for fixed length fields, the barcode generator must be programmed to add trailing spaces if data is shorter than the maximum field length.
Magnetic Card Reader Configuration A magnetic card contains patient data in the form of a string of fixed-length fields, as seen in the following example. The following table describes each field in the record. Position Name Comment Length Starting Ending Data Header Separates records Patient ID...
Magnetic Card Reader Configuration The way in which the magnetic card reader handles the data header affects the configuration file. Some card readers include the data header when the records are read. Others strip it out. You need to account for this difference when you define Offset and Total Bytes in the magnetic card reader’s configuration file.
