Chapter 6 - Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager‟s output. For example, you can use
the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The
selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format
setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however when you do a
format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page 53) within the format
program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the order in which they
are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:
1)
Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2)
Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3)
Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4)
Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5)
Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6)
Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7)
Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8)
Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
To Add a Data Format
Step 1.
Scan the
Enter Data Format
symbol (page 55).
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats
allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one
bar code has been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. If you are programming
the primary format, scan
0
using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If
you are programming an alternate format, scan
1
,
2
, or
3
, depending on the alternate format you
are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Supported Terminals (page 21) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan
three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan
0 0
0
for RS-232.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format.
Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming
Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this
symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all
lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 53). Scan the symbols
