This programming selection allows you to program the Imager to output data (when scanning more
than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar
codes are scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the Imager to the Universal
values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before
you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you
’
ll need to know the code I.D., code length,
and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (Appendix E)
to read these options.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Output Sequence Editor, in two pages).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Chart on Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the
output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value
from the Programming Chart (Appendix E).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this symbology.
Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as
0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must
count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless
using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Appendix B), find the Hex value that represents the character(s)
you want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that
represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save to save your entries.

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the
imager to output Code 39 1 st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
