Data Editing
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 symbol-
ogies, or only with specific symbologies. The following shows the available ele-
ments you can add to a message string:
Figure 7. Breakdown of 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 113
) or across all symbologies (set via the
Global features in
Configuration Using Bar Codes, starting on page 17
).
• You can add any character from the
(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.
NOTE
Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting
features in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact
Technical Support (see
) for more information.
