To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-5).

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. See page 5-6.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart on page B-5of this manual. If you are pro- gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alter- nate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Supported Terminals on page 2-2and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the Program- ming Chart on page B-5to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 124 for a USB key- board.

The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

NOTE

Step 4. Code I.D.

In Symbologies, 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 on page B-5of this man- ual.

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 Program- ming Chart on page B-5of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands
