CHAPTER V DATA EDITING

INTRODUCTION

After the device decodes successfully, a string of data is obtained, which can be numbers, English,
symbols, etc., and for 2D codes, it can also be Chinese characters. This string of data is the data
information contained in the barcode. In the actual application, you may not only need the data
information of the barcode, but also need to know which type of barcode the data information is
obtained from, or need to know on which day the barcode information was scanned, or after
scanning a barcode, the text of the recorded barcode can be automatically wrapped into a carriage
return, which may not be included in the data information of the barcode.
Adding these elements to the barcode is bound to increase the length of the barcode and is not
flexible enough. Artificially adding some contents in front of or behind the data information of the
barcode, and these added contents can be changed in real time according to the demand, and
you can choose to add or mask, which is the prefix and suffix of the barcode data information. By
adding the prefix and suffix, that is, to meet the demand and no need to modify the content of
barcode information.
Prefix or suffix characters can be added or removed for one code system or all code systems.
Add any prefix or suffix using the ASCII conversion table
Add prefix or suffix characters in the order they appear in the output.
