Data Editing Overview
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 features in this chapter 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 symbologies, or only with
specific symbologies.
