want to use with your cobas c 111.

3. Disabling the Check Character Reading

A check character or “checksum” allows for adding safety to your reading of sample barcodes. When

not active, there is a chance of misreading which may lead to sample mismatches.

Roche Diagnostics strongly recommends using only barcode types with activated checksum!

If you want to disable the check character reading with a certain barcode type, scan the applicable

configuration barcode and wait for the confirmation beep. Disable the check character reading for

those barcode types only where necessary.

If you like to enable the check character reading again, refer to the configuration barcodes on page 2 of

this document (rows 6, 7, or 8 as applicable).

1. Activate reading of Codabar barcodes without check

character

No Check Character

2. Activate reading of Code 39 barcodes without check

3. Activate reading of Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes without

Please note:

Some barcode types do not allow disabling the check character reading as they are integrated by

definition.
