Data Editing

Data Editing Overview

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM inter- faces.

CAUTION

When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter 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 6 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:
