Enter Setup Chapter 10 Data Formatter Introduction You may use the Data Formatter to modify the scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Formatter to insert characters at certain points in barcode data or to suppress/ replace/ send certain characters in barcode data as it is scanned.
Enter Setup 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 Appendix 6: Digit Barcodes. Step 1: Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
Page 130
Enter Setup Step 8: Enter formatter command Refer to the “Data Formatter Commands” 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.
Enter Setup Programming with a Batch Command A data format can also be created by a batch command sent from the host device. Syntax: “nls0323000” + “=” + Double Quotation Mark (”) + Parameter Value + Double Quotation Mark (”) Parameter Value consists of the following elements: Data format: 0~3 (1 character).
Enter Setup Enable Data Format After enabling the Data Formatter, you may select a data format you want to use by scanning the appropriate barcode below. ** Format_0 Format_1 Format_2 Format_3 Change Data Format for a Single Scan You can switch between data formats for a single scan. The next barcode is scanned using the data format selected here, then reverts to the format you have selected above.

Enter Setup E6 Search forward for a non-matching character Syntax=E6xx (xx: The search character’s hex value) Search the input message forward for the first non-“xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non-“xx” character. E6 Example: Remove zeros at the beginning of barcode data This example shows a barcode that has been zero filled.
Enter Setup Miscellaneous Commands FB Suppress characters Syntax=FBnnxxyy..zz (nn: The numeric value (00-15) for the number of suppressed characters; xxyy..zz: The hex value of the characters to be suppressed) Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the current cursor position, as the cursor is advanced by other commands.
Page 144
Enter Setup E4 Example: Replace zeros with CRs in barcode data If the barcode has characters that the host application does not want included, you can use the E4 command to replace those characters with something else. In this example, you will replace the zeros in the barcode above with carriage returns.
Chapter 11 Troubleshooting Problem: Some barcodes cannot be read. Solution: 1. Find out the barcode type and verify that the barcode type is enabled. If the barcode parameters include check digit verification, select the Disable option. 2. If you do not know the barcode type, enable all symbologies. 3.
