Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On.

* Data Formatter On,

but Not Required

Data Formatter Off

When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for- mat or the imager does not transmit the input data to the host device.

Data Format On, Format Required

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro- grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri- mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar codes below. The imager will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with

the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Alternate Data Format 1

Alternate Data Format 2

Alternate Data Format 3
