Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the Imager
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence
or the Imager will not transmit the output data to the host device.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is
turned on.
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the Imager to output data
(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application
requires. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the Imager to the
Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to
delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you'll need to know the code
I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use
the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see "Output Sequence Editor "on page
2-44).
2. Code I.D.
On the "Symbology Chart"on page 2-33, find the symbology to which you
want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
(inside back cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal num-
ber, indicating all lengths.)
4. Character Match Sequences
On the "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-34, find the
Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Pro-
gramming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the
ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save
Current Sequence Changes to save your entries.
Other Programming Selections
• Discard Current Sequence Changes
This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.
