Prefix and Suffix data is always added on after stripping is complete, and is not affected by any stripping settings.

If the stripping configuration results in a 0 length bar code, a good beep will still be emitted, since bar code data was read

from the scanner.

Match List Rules

The data in the match list is processed by the rules listed below:
Strings in the list will be searched in the order they appear in the list. If the list contains ABC and AB, in that order,
l
incoming data with ABC will match first, and the AB will have no effect.
When a match between the first characters of the bar code and a string from the list is found, that string is stripped from
l
the bar code data.
Processing the list terminates when a match is found or when the end of the list is reached.
l
If the wildcard * is not specified, the string is assumed to strip from the beginning of the bar code data. The string ABC*
l
strips off the prefix ABC. The string *XYZ will strip off the suffix XYZ. The string ABC*XYZ will strip both prefix and
suffix together. More than one * in a configuration string is not allowed. (The User Interface will not prevent it, but results
would not be as expected, as only the first * is used in parsing to match the string.)
The question mark wildcard ? may be used to match any single character in the incoming data. For example, the data
l
AB?D will match ABCD, ABcD, or AB0D, but not ABDE.
The data collected is saved per symbology configured. The Symbology selected in the Symbologies dialog defines the
l
symbology for which the data is being configured.
Note that the Code ID (if any are configured) is ignored by this dialog, regardless of the setting of Strip: Code ID in the
l
Symbologies dialog. According to the sequence of events (specified above), the Code ID must not be included in the bar
code data being matched, because when the matching test occurs, the Code ID has already been stripped. If Strip
Code ID is disabled, then the bar code data to match must include the Code ID. If Strip Code ID is enabled, the data
should not include the Code ID since it has already been stripped.

Entering data into the text entry box enables the Add button. Click the Add button and the data is
added to the next empty location in the Custom ID list.
Click on an empty line in the Custom ID list. The Add button changes to Insert. Enter data into both
the Name and ID Code fields and click the Insert button. The data is added to the selected line in the
Custom IDs list.
Double click on the item to edit. Its values are copied to the text boxes for editing. The Add button
changes to Replace. When Replace is clicked, the values for the current item in the list are updated.
When no item in the Custom IDs list is selected, clicking the Clear All button clears the Custom ID
list and any text written (and not yet added or inserted) in the Name and ID Code text boxes.
The Clear All button changes to a Remove button when an item in the Custom IDs list is selected.
Click the desired line item and then click the Remove button to delete it. Line items are Removed
one at a time. Contents of the text box fields are cleared at the same time.
