Configuring Your Scanner for Data Formatting 

Below are the different ways to configure a Cino scanner for data formatting tasks.   

DataWizard 

DataWizard is the standard data formatting feature within Cino’s FuzzyScan PowerTool. With it, 
users can easily configure items such as preamble, postamble, record suffix, data transmission 
and other parameters. For advanced data formatting, please see DataWizard Premium below. 

DataWizard Premium 

The  requirements  for  barcode  scanning  are  increasingly  complex  and  diversified.  Oftentimes, 
regular configuration tools may lack the capacity to meet enterprise-level demands. DataWizard 
Premium  fills  the  gap  by  offering  a  flexible  way  to  program  Cino  scanners  for  elaborate  data 
formatting.   

An  advanced  feature  of  the  FuzzyScan  PowerTool,  DataWizard  Premium  allows  users  to  write 
programming  scripts  and  load  them  into  scanners  for  execution.  The  script  language  used  is 
similar to BASIC, and easy to learn for experienced programmers. DataWizard Premium also has 
various built-in functions to help with script development. Cino scanners can thus be instructed to 
perform intricate data processing tasks, such as parsing captured information in accordance with 
a host system’s requirements. Details such the preamble, postamble, suffix, quantity, time stamp 
and  other  data  can  also  be  inserted  or  modified  before  output.  Please  see  the 

DataWizard 

Premium User Guide

 for details. 

Condensed DataWizard 

The Condensed DataWizard is a set of command barcodes designed to program Cino scanners for 
data editing operations. Simply choose and scan the relevant barcodes, as applicable. Please see 
the 

Programming Manual 

for details.
