5 - 11
If you will only accept data from bar codes that begin with a letter, you can use ED to check for the number.
Command string: EDF10D
ED is the “Check for a non-numeric character” command
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
If this bar code is read, the format fails.
If this bar code is read: the data is output as: AB1234
<CR>
Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn
where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard
emulation.
Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step
4 ( page 5-1 ), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard
Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-11 ) in order for the B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but
Not Required ( page 5-12 ), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as usual.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On ( page 5-12 ), the
scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off , the code is disabled for reading and no
tone is sounded.
Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied
to your data format:
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and
suffixes are not transmitted. If a data format is
not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not
match your data format requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not transmitted. If you wish
to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see
Data Format Non-Match Error Tone .
Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and
suffixes are not transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error tone. If you
wish to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see
Data Format Non-Match Error Tone .
