Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For exam- ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:

1.Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2.Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3.Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4.Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5.Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6.Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7.Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8.Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).

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- 5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro- gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are pro- gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter- minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the
