Abstract

To generate a setting bar code for changing setting of an optical information reader, in setup items changed by the user, each item different from the default value is extracted and bar code original data is created. Further, if the amount of information to be encoded is large and the length of a setting bar code exceeds a predetermined value, the information to be encoded is divided into a plurality of parts as a plurality of setting bar codes so that each of the plurality of setting bar codes falls within the predetermined value. Each of the plurality of setting bar codes contains information concerning the total number of bar codes and the serial number relative to the total number of bar codes and check information indicating that the plurality of setting bar codes belong to the same setup contents.
