7.2 Editing
Data
The scanner can edit and output code data read in the "data extraction mode" or "delimited-text format conversion
mode" that is selected in the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The default is "No editing."
Note:
In the case of multi-line bar codes, unless all code ID marks read are matched, the data editing process will
result in an error regardless of whether or not the data read contains any error. Whether the code ID mark is matched is
determined not by the combination of code ID marks Type 1 and Type 2 but by Type 1 only (refer to Chapter 9,
Section 9.2).
7.2.1 Data extraction mode
This mode offers three extraction choices--"data string," "data block" and "AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed string"
extractions from code data read and then outputs it.
The "data block" extraction is possible only when code data is in the comma-delimited CSV format. The "AI-prefixed
string" extraction is available for EAN-128, RSS, and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (excluding linear components in
a UPC/EAN Composite symbol).
7.2.1.1 Extracting a data string
The scanner extracts a data string specified by the "Extraction start position" and "Extraction end position" from a
code specified by the "Code type" and then outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see
Chapter 9, Section 9.2). The extraction conditions and extraction start and end positions are listed below.

Permit/Prohibit
If the scanner fails to extract a data string or scans a code not specified by "Code type" when the "Data transfer
regardless of error result" is permitted, then it outputs the data read as is without editing.
