When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited format or the image scanner 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 programmed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the primary 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 image scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary

format.
