Aux Data Format Editor
The Aux Data Format Editor selections are used to edit incoming data to the
aux port. For example, you can use the Aux Data Format Editor to insert
characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned.
It is not necessary to use the Aux Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the
aux data format is already programmed in the base. The selections in the
following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default settings.
Default
Aux Data Format setting = none.
If you have changed aux data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the defaults, scan the Default Aux Data Format code.
To Add an Aux Data Format
STEP 1. Scan the Enter Aux Data Format symbol (pg. 3–19).
STEP 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary aux data format, or one of 3
alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot”
capability to scan one bar code using a different aux data format.
After the one bar code has been read, the scanner reverts to the
primary aux data format. See page 3–21.) If you are programming
the primary format, scan 0. If you are programming an alternate
format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are
programming.
STEP 3. Terminal Type
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2–5) and locate the
Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on
the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID
(you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an IBM AT.
STEP 4. Code I.D.
Scan 7 then 2 from the Programming Chart. (This is the hex
value for “r,” the aux port I.D.)
STEP 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data 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.)
STEP 6. Editor Commands
Refer to the Format Editor Commands (page 3–17). Scan the
symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94
alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data
format.
STEP 7. Scan Save to save your entries.
