is uploaded.
{x
where x is a single hex digit corresponding to the number of characters you want to remove from the data.
As above, valid entries are 1-F. Trimming characters using the { character trims the data BEFORE
displaying it on the Terminal screen and before checking data lengths and data ID’s.
{zx
where
z
is the bar code ID character and
x
is a single hex digit corresponding to the number of characters
you want to remove from the data. As above, valid entries are 1-F. This type of trimming is called
“selective” trimming. It only trims characters from the specified bar code type if it is scanned. See chapter
on
Setup - Code 128 Parameters
for the correct bar code ID characters for each bar code type.
5. Padding data with zeros or spaces
The
Upload Prefix
can be used to add zeros or spaces before the data up to the
Maximum Data Length
specified for the statement. Padding and Trimming are mutually exclusive; trimming always takes
precedence. To pad data with zeros, use:
^0
To pad data with spaces, use:
^S
Upload Suffix
The
SUFFIX
is just like the
Prefix
; only it is appended
AFTER
the data for the statement.
For details see the previous section on
Upload Prefixes
.
By default,
Suffix
data is transmitted AFTER the data but BEFORE the
Terminator Character
. The default
transmission format when using
Prefixes
and
Suffixes
is as follows:
(ID)(Prefix) DATA (Checksum Chs)(Suffix) (Terminator Ch)
To transmit the
Suffix
after the Terminator, change the
Terminator Character
to
OFF
(the default is ON).
