E9 Include in the output message all but the last “nn” characters, starting from the current cursor position. The cursor is moved forward to one position past the last input message character included.

Insert a character multiple times

F4 Send “xx” character “nn” times in the output message, leaving the cursor in the current position. Syntax = F4xxnn where xx stands for the insert character’s hex value for its ASCII code, and nn is the numeric value (00-99) for the number of times it should be sent.

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-4for decimal, hex and character codes.

Insert symbology name

B3 Insert the name of the bar code’s symbology in the output message, without moving the cursor. Only symbologies with a Honeywell ID are included (see Symbology Chart on page A-1).

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-4for decimal, hex and character codes.
