Programming with Barcodes

The following explains how to program a data format by scanning the specific barcodes. Scanning any
irrelevant barcode or failing to follow the setting procedure will result in programming failure. To find the
alphanumeric barcodes needed to create a data format, see the "Digit Barcodes" section in Appendix.
Step 1: Scan the Add Data Format barcode.
Add Data Format
Step 2: Select data format.
Scan a numeric barcode 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 to set this to Format_0 or Format_1 or Format_2 or Format_3.
Step 3: Select formatter command type.
Specify what type of formatter commands will be used. Scan a numeric barcode "6" to select formatter
command type 6. (See the "Formatter Command Type 6" section in this chapter for more information)
Step 4: Set interface type
Scan 999 for any interface type.
Step 5: Set Symbology ID Number
Refer to the "Symbology ID Number" section in Appendix and find the ID number of the symbology to
which you want to apply the data format. Scan three numeric barcodes for the symbology ID number. If
you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, scan 999.
Step 6: Set barcode data length
Specify what length of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four numeric barcodes that
represent the data length. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths. For example, 32 characters
should be entered as 0032.
Step 7: Enter formatter command
Refer to the "Formatter Command Type 6" section in this chapter. Scan the alphanumeric barcodes that
represent the command you need to edit data. For example, when a command is F141, you should scan
F141. A command can contain up to 112 characters.
Step 8: Scan the Save barcode from the "Save/Cancel Barcodes" section in Appendix to save your data
format.
