Step 4: Strip Leading Characters
Access: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scanner | Barcode | Symbology
Settings
Use this option to strip characters from the beginning of the barcode data.
Figure 4-12 Strip Leading Characters
To enable, check the Leading checkbox and enter the desired number of characters to strip. The
default is disabled (unchecked) and 0 characters.
The specified number of characters is stripped from the barcode data unconditionally for the
Symbology selected from the pulldown list. If ‘All’ is selected, the character stripping is applied
to all symbologies that have not been previously customized.
Code ID stripping (discussed earlier) is performed first. Next Leading and Trailing characters are
stripped. Barcode data stripping (discussed later) is performed last.
Note: If the total number of characters being stripped is greater than the number of characters
in the barcode data, the barcode data becomes a zero byte data string subject to any
additional processing. If Strip Code ID is also enabled, and Prefix and Suffix are not
programmed, this returns an empty scan which is rejected.
