Data Editing

When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host
computer along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode 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 message 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 symbol-
ogies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 15 shows the available ele-
ments you can add to a message string:
