4.4 Data Editing When a barcode is readed, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with
the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is
called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined
data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after readed
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbolo-
gies.
Figure 6: Breakdown of a Message String shows the available elements you can add to a
message string:

Please Keep In Mind...
- Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisticated
feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for
data editing is typically set to NONE.
- A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference 1D
Symbologies, starting on page 87 or 2D Symbologies, starting on page 175 ) or across all
symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
- You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of this
manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
- Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
