Data Editing
CAUTION
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.
When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with
the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is
called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined
data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies. Figure 16 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting features
in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact Technical Support

for more information.
Please Keep In Mind...
•
Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisti-
cated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default set-
tings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
•
A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference
Selection, starting on page 107
) or across all symbologies (set via the Global features in
this chapter).
•
You can add any character from the
(from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of
this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
•
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
