Data Editing
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host
computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data
and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The Data
Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined data into a mes-
sage string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before
and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all sym-
bologies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 7 shows the available
elements you can add to a message string:

code data.

Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement.
Data editing is a sophisticated feature allowing highly custom-
izable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for
data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbol-
1D Symbologies, starting on page 83
Symbologies, starting on page 175
) or across all symbologies (set
via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the
(from 00-FF) on
the inside back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label
ID.
•
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want
them to appear on the o
utput.
