Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner's output. For exam-
ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used
only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a "send" command (see
on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 256 bytes, which includes
header information. No format can contain more than 50 bytes.
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol
Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format scan 0 using the inside the back cover of
this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or
3, depending on which alternate format you are programming.
