Port Replicator Port A (Com5) And Port B (Com6) - Psion Omnii User Manual

• Add barcode prefix/suffix – adds a global prefix or suffix.
• Verify barcode size – verifies the barcode size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before cre-
ating subsequent rules.
• Search and replace – replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule cannot fail.)
Important: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account
when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the barcode size is important, it should
be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.
The information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file (see "Scan Log File")
when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing.
