3. Scan the bar code to SELECT LENGTH 2 SETTING for your selected symbology.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix E, Keypad
that represent the
length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
If you make a mistake, before the last character scan the CANCEL bar code
to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure.
Data Editing
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along
with the bar code data. This combination of bar code 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 3
shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

configure for the scanned

AIM ID: This function is used to identify and display the
common label identifier for its symbology. When enabled,
this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar
code data.

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting fea-
tures in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact Technical
Support (as described on

) 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.
