Data Editing
CAUTION
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.
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 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 scanned data. You can specify
if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 6 shows the available elements
you can add to a message string:
