Data Editing Overview It is not recommended to use these features with IBM or Wand Emulation interfaces. CAUTION 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.”...

Data Editing Case Conversion This feature can convert scanned bar code data to either all lower case or all upper case characters. Case conversion affects ONLY scanned bar code data, and does not affect Label ID, Prefix, Suffix, or other appended data.
Character Conversion Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The sec- ond character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
