Data Editing

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host
computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data
and supplementary user-defined data is called a "message string." The Data
Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined data into a mes-
sage string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before
and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all sym-
bologies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 7 shows the available
elements you can add to a message string:
