Reviewing Configuration Settings
The settings for each group can be reviewed by first entering the ENTER SETUP MODE command for that group followed by the RE- VIEW SETTINGS command in the menu sheets. The reader will then send a list of the settings to the host. The COPY CON command is programmed to precede the listing and is needed to prevent the “Bad command or file name” DOS error message.

Resetting to Defaults
There are two ways to reset the Omni reader to its default settings. The first is to enter the individual group RESET commands included with the configuration menus for the group. This will reset only that group to the default settings. If you want to reset all groups to their default settings, first enter the Terminal Type Group SETUP command, then enter the RESET ALL command from the Terminal Selections Group menu, or swipe on Code 39 bar code /E/D/FW.

DATA EDITING
The Omni can format data by adding preambles, postambles, and terminator characters. It can also edit data, breaking it into blocks that can be rearranged, added to, deleted, or duplicated prior to being sent to the host computer.
In short, the data editing feature allows the data read from a bar code or magnetic stripe to be sent to the host in the exact format expected by the host software, eliminating the need for modifications to the applica- tion software. It can also be divided according to established standards (such as ISO, ANSI, AAMVA, and CDL).
The edited data fields can then be transmitted to the host computer in any order desired, regardless of their position on the original bar code or magnetic stripe.
