POWERSCAN® D8530

2.6DEFINING DATA FORMATTING

The string of a decoded code to be sent to the host may be formatted as follows:

•defining simple data formatting (see page 42);

•defining advanced data formatting giving complete flexibility in changing the format of data (see par. 4.3).

When both simple and advanced data formatting are selected the info is processed in the following order:

1.the string of the decoded code is processed according to the advanced formatting rules;

2.the resulting string is processed according to the selection type rules of the simple data formatting;

3.character substitution is performed on the resulting string;

4.character deletion is performed on the resulting string;

5.code concatenation is performed;

6.code ID is attached to the resulting string;

7.global headers and terminators are attached to the resulting string;

The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the following two conditions:

•one code per scan: PowerScan® D8530 sends the code being closest to the image center. If the "Central Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the code containing the image center will be transmitted (see page 72);

•all codes per scan: the codes to be sent to the host may be ordered either by length or by symbology starting from the code being closest to the image center (see page 72). When enabling both these criteria, codes belonging to the same symbology are sent to the host depending on their length.
