When no item in the Custom IDs list is selected, tapping the Clear All button clears the Custom ID list and any text written (and not yet added or inserted) in the Name and ID Code text boxes.
RemoveThe Clear All button changes to a Remove button when an item in the Custom IDs list is selected. Tap the desired line item and then tap the Remove button to delete it. Line items are Removed one at a time. Contents of the text box fields are cleared at the same time.
Notes•Prefix and Suffix data is always added on after stripping is complete, and is not affected by any stripping settings.
•If the stripping configuration results in a 0 length bar code, a good beep will still be emitted, since bar code data was read from the scanner.
Match List RulesThe data in the match list is processed by the rules listed below:
•Strings in the list will be searched in the order they appear in the list. If the list contains ABC and AB, in that order, incoming data with ABC will match first, and the AB will have no effect.
•When a match between the first characters of the bar code and a string from the list is found, that string is stripped from the bar code data.
•Processing the list terminates when a match is found or when the end of the list is reached.
•If the wildcard * is not specified, the string is assumed to strip from the beginning of the bar code data. The string ABC* strips off the prefix ABC. The string *XYZ will strip off the suffix XYZ. The string ABC*XYZ will strip both prefix and suffix together. More than one * in a configuration string is not allowed. (The User Interface will not prevent it, but results would not be as expected, as only the first * is used in parsing to match the string.)
•The question mark wildcard ? may be used to match any single character in the incoming data. For example, the data AB?D will match ABCD, ABcD, or AB0D, but not ABDE.
•The data collected is saved per symbology configured. The Symbology selected in the Symbologies dialog defines the symbology for which the data is being configured.
•Note that the Code ID (if any are configured) is ignored by this dialog, regardless of the setting of Strip: Code ID in the Symbologies dialog. According to the sequence of events (specified above), the Code ID must not be included in the bar code data being matched, because when the matching test occurs, the Code ID has already been stripped. If Strip Code ID is disabled, then the bar code data to match must include the Code ID. If Strip Code ID is enabled, the data should not include the Code ID since it has already been stripped.
Add Prefix/Suffix ControlNote:
Use this option to specify a string of text, hex values or hat encoded values to be added to the beginning (prefix) or the end (suffix) of the bar code data. Up to 19 characters can be included in the string. The string can include any character from the keyboard plus characters specified by hex equivalent or entering in hat encoding. See Hat Encoding (page
Using the Escape function allows entering literal hex and hat values.
Add PrefixTo enable a prefix, check the Prefix check box and enter the desired string in the textbox. The default is disabled (unchecked) with a blank text string.
When bar code data is processed, the Prefix string is sent to the output buffer before any other data. Because all stripping operations have already occurred, stripping settings do not affect the prefix.
