To Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page5-5).
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 0using
the Programming Chart on page B-5 of 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 page2-2 and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the Program-
ming Chart on page B-5 to program the imager for your terminal ID

board.
Step 4. Code I.D.
InSymbologies, 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-5 of 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-5 of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is
entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
