Wasp Bar Code WWS800 Data Output Format, Character Substitution, Prefix / Postfix Code, Code ID

8.Data Output Format

Data read by the scanner will be processed in the following sequence (RS-232, Keyboard Wedge and USB interfaces).

1)The character substitution is performed on the barcode data.

2)The Code ID and the Length Code are inserted at the beginning of the data as shown below.

[Code ID] [Length Code] [Data]

3)The resulting data of step 1 will be processed by the editing formats. For details, please refer to the section “Data Editing”.

4)And finally the Prefix Code and the Postfix Code will be added before transmission.

[Prefix Code] [Resulting Data of Step 3] [Postfix Code]

8.1Character Substitution

There are three character substitution settings on the scanner. These settings are configured on a character base. That is, a specific character is to be substituted by another character. The character substitution is performed on every occurrence of the characters specified in these settings. Be aware, the substitution is performed only on the barcode itself (exclude Prefix Code, Postfix Code, Code ID, Length Code or any Additional Field) and is performed before editing mode processing.

If only the character to be replaced is specified, every occurrence of that character in the barcode will be taken away.

8.2Prefix / Postfix Code

Up to four characters of prefix / postfix code can be configured for the scanner.

8.3Code ID

Up to two characters of Code ID can be configured for each symbology. To minimize the Code ID configuration efforts, the scanner provides five predefined Code ID Sets that user can select from. User can first select one of the Code ID Sets and then make desired modifications. The pre-defined Code ID Sets are shown below.

	Set 1	Set 2	Set 3	Set 4	Set 5
Code 39	A	C	Y	M	A

8.4Length Code

Two digits Length Code representing the length of data (character count) can be inserted in front of data being transmitted. This Length Code parameter can be individually enabled or disabled for each barcode symbology.
