Method 2 - Manipulating the Barcode Data

Method 2 allows modifying the barcode data by means of one of the following procedures:
•
•
•
•
Once the data has been modified, it is sent to the host computer as data of the output
message.
Unlike Method 1 this method does not allow associating different procedures together. This
means that each format definition corresponds to a single procedure. Despite this, it possible
to add a new string of characters to the beginning or ending part of the formatted barcode.
The only limit is determined by the size of the internal reserved memory used to define the
format.
To complete this procedure proceed as follows:
Example
Decoded code: <DATALOGICproduct>
Formatting procedure: Add new string + Insert String
Output message: <17DATA123LOGICproduct>
