Strip Leading/Trailing Control - Honeywell MX3PLUS Reference Manual

Strip Leading/Trailing Control

This group of controls determines what data is removed from the bar code before the data is buffered for the application. 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 bar code 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 bar code 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 bar code 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 Barcode tab. By default, Code ID
stripping is enabled for all symbologies (meaning code IDs will be stripped, unless specifically configured otherwise).
