Using Custom Device Filters
The DX8100 allows you to use a custom device filter to remove unwanted characters from the data input port. These characters may be printer commands or some other type of device control/overhead. Each entered line of text in the Custom Device Filter table defines a separate character filter. A filter can be a combination of exact characters to match, character ranges to match, and character counts. Incoming characters matching any of the character filters will be discarded.

Creating a New Data Format
Create the data format based on information contained in the ATM/POS transaction. For example, a sales receipt provides detailed transaction information. The data format values determine how data from ATM or POS terminals is interpreted. This information is used to separate the data stream into individual transactions and separate the various fields within the transaction. Every field format must match that of the ATM or POS device, especially the month format.

1.In the Network page, click the Port/Device tab. The Port/Device page is displayed.
