5. Data Output Format
Data read by the scanner will be processed in the
following sequence (RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge
interfaces only).
1) The character substitution is performed on the
barcode data.
2) The Code ID and the Length Code are inserted at
the beginning of the data as shown below.
[Code ID] [Length Code] [Data]
3) The resulting data of step 1 will be processed by
the editing formats. For details, please refer to the
section “Data Editing”.
4) And finally the Prefix Code and the Postfix Code
will be added before transmission.

5.1 Character Substitution
There are three character substitution settings on the
scanner. These settings are configured on a character
base. That is, a specific character is to be substituted
by an another character. The character substitution is
performed on every occurrence of the characters
specified in these settings. Be aware, the substitution
is performed
only
on the barcode itself (exclude
Prefix Code, Postfix Code, Code ID, Length Code or
any Additional Field) and is performed before editing
mode processing.
If only the character to be replaced is specified, every
occurrence of that character in the barcode will be
taken away.
5.2 Prefix / Postfix Code
Up to four characters of prefix / postfix code can be
configured for the scanner.
5.3 Code ID
Up to two characters of Code ID can be configured
for each symbology. To minimize the Code ID
configuration efforts, the scanner provides five
predefined Code ID Sets that user can select from.
User can first select one of the Code ID Sets and then
