Data Editing Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host
computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and
supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The features in
this chapter 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 scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbol-
ogies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 49 shows the available ele-
ments you can add to a message string.

Additional data editing options include the features Case Conversion on page
267 and Character Conversion on page 268 .
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 (reference the 1D Symbology Program-
ming on page 281 or 2D Symbology Programming on page 423 chapter for
