Example 3:  Sorting by Symbology

By setting up specific rules to check for symbology, different code types may
be sent to the host in a predetermined order.

Parameter Rule #1 Value

Rule #2 Value

Source A|B

A|B

Symbology Code 128

I 2 of 5

Symbol Number All

All

Find String Containing .*

.*

Replace Entire String With &

&

Minimum Field Length 0

0

Alignment Right

Right

Fill Character None

None

Host Message Field

Number

1

2

In this case, 2 symbols per package will be read.  The symbols are sent to the
host with the Code 128 symbol first, or its No-read Replacement Message.
This technique may be useful in applications where these two symbologies
are used together.

Example 4:  Sorting by Symbol Number

Parameter Rule #1 Value

Rule #2 Value

Source A|B

A|B

Symbology Any

Any

Symbol Number 2

1

Find String Containing .*

.*

Replace Entire String With &

&

Minimum Field Length 0

0

Alignment Right

Right

Fill Character None

None

Host Message Field

Number

2

The above rules allow the host to receive the symbol data in reverse order
from the order it was decoded.  The first symbol decoded (symbol number 1)
will be sent as field number 2, while symbol number 2 will be sent first.
