Search for the letter “D” in bar codes and send all the data that follows, including the “D.” Using the bar code above:
Command string: F844F10D
F8 is the “Search forward for a character” command
44 is the hex value for “D”
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
DEFGHIJ <CR>Search backward for a character
F9 Search the input message backward for “xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the “xx” character. Syntax = F9xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII code.

This example shows a bar code that has been zero filled. You may want to ignore the zeroes and send all the data that follows. E6 searches forward for the first character that is not zero, then sends all the data after, followed by a carriage return. Using the bar code above:
Command string: E630F10D
E6 is the “Search forward for a
30 is the hex value for 0
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
37692
<CR>
Search backward for a non-matching character
E7 Search the input message backward for the first
