DATA FORMAT
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 message 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 symbologies, or only with
specific symbologies. The following shows the available elements you can add to a mes -
sage string:

Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a
sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Fac -
tory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference
1D
Symbologies, starting on page 130
) or across all symbologies (set via the Global fea -
tures in
Configuration with Bar Codes, starting on page 41
).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart on
page 394
(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
output.
NOTE: Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced format -
ting features in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact
