This example shows a bar code that has been zero filled. You may want to ignore
the zeros and send all the data that follows. E6 searches forward for the first char-
acter that is not zero, then sends all the data after, followed by a carriage return.
Using the bar code above:
Command string: E630F10D
E6 is the “Search forward for a non-matching character” command
30 is the hex value for 0
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
37692
<CR>
Search backward for a non-matching character
E7 Search the input message backward for the first non-“xx” character from the
current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non-“xx” character.
Syntax = E7xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII code.
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 214 for
decimal, hex and character codes.
