    Matching

    [Matching] reads two barcodes or two-dimensional codes and checks whether they match.

    Editing the screen

    Matching can edit screen.

    Editing procedure for app screen

    (Startup method)

    　Standard app editor ⇨ [Matching work] selection ⇨ work screen

    Add and edit items using the same procedure as for collection.

    Matching settings

    Press the [Matching Settings...] button to display the matching settings screen. The matching setting screen is used to set the matching position and number of digits for the matching function.
    Settings are independent for each job (each menu).

    Operation example:

    Matching category:
    Select the matching target from the barcode content and type.
  • Code only: Verify that the barcode contents match.
  • Code & Code Type: Check that both the barcode content and type match.
  • Code type only: Check that the barcode types match.

    • Operation example:

    Matching range:
    Specify whether to compare the entire barcode or a portion of the barcode.
  • All: Compare the entire barcode.

    • Operation example:

  • Range specification: Compare the parts specified by the following items.
    Number of digits to compare: Specify the number of digits to compare.
    Matching start position for code 1: Specify the matching position of the first barcode to be read.
    Matching start position for code 2: Specify the matching position of the second barcode to be read.
    Code 3 matching start position (for 3-point matching): Specify the matching position of the third barcode to be read.

    Operation example:

    • Check matching results:
    After matching, a screen will be displayed to confirm the barcode contents.
  • None: Do not display the confirmation screen.
  • NG only: Displays the confirmation screen only when the matching result is NG.
  • OK only: Displays the confirmation screen only when the matching result is OK.
  • Both: Always display the confirmation screen.

    • Display example:

    Display 1:N match count value:
    When performing 1:N matching, the number of 1:N matchings will be displayed under the title at the top left of the screen.
  • Check enabled: Displays the 1:N count number during 1:N comparison.
  • Check disabled: 1:N count number is not displayed during 1:N comparison.

    • Display example:

    Set the initial collation mode to 1:N collation:
    After starting the Standard app, the first time the matching task screen with this setting enabled is displayed, the matching mode will be set to 1:N matching.
  • Check enabled: Set the first matching mode to 1:N matching.
  • Disable check: Set the first matching mode to 1:1 matching.

    • How to operate
