Strip Leading/Trailing Control - Honeywell MX9 User Manual

Enable, Min, Max
Enable
This checkbox enables (checked) or disables (unchecked) the symbology field.
The scanner driver searches the beginning of the bar code data for the type of ID specified in the Data Options tab --
Enable Code ID field plus any custom identifiers.
When a code ID match is found as the scanner driver processes incoming bar code data, if the symbology is disabled, the
bar code is rejected. Otherwise, the other settings in the dialog are applied and the bar code is processed.
If the symbology is disabled, all other fields on this dialog are dimmed.
If there are customized settings, uncheck the Enable checkbox for the All symbology. This results in disabling all symbolo-
gies except the customized ones.
Min
This field specifies the minimum length that the bar code data (not including Code ID) must meet to be processed.
Any bar code scanned that is less than the number of characters specified in the Min field is rejected. The default for this
field is 1.
Max
This field specifies the maximum length that the bar code data (not including Code ID) can be processed. Any bar code
scanned that has more characters than specified in the Max field is rejected. The default for this field is All (9999).
If the value entered is greater than the maximum value allowed for that symbology, the maximum valid length is used
instead.

Strip Leading/Trailing Control

This group of controls determines what data is removed from the collected data before the data is buffered for the applica-
tion. When all values are set, Code ID takes precedence over Leading and Trailing; Barcode Data stripping is performed
last. Stripping occurs before the Prefix and Suffix are added, so does not affect them.
If the total number of characters being stripped is greater than the number of characters in the collected data, it becomes a
zero byte data string.
If, in addition, Strip Code ID is enabled, and no prefix or suffix is configured, the processing will return a zero-byte data
packet, which will be rejected.
The operation of each type of stripping is defined below:
Leading
This strips the number of characters specified from the beginning of the collected data (not including Code ID). The data is
stripped unconditionally. This action is disabled by default.
Trailing
This strips the number of characters specified from the end of the collected data (not including Code ID). The data is
stripped unconditionally. This action is disabled by default.
Code ID
Strips the Code ID based on the type code ID specified in the Enable Code ID field in the Data Options tab. By default,
Code ID stripping is enabled for every symbology (meaning code IDs will be stripped, unless specifically configured other-
wise).
