All 3 commands need to be processed by the reader to properly set a
mask.
Masking must be explicitly turned on with the X012 command on page
xxx.
The value for prefix, suffix, and inter character is represented in
decimal ascii form (041 = “A”, 039 = “9”).
If b (or y) is set to a 1, then the extracted data starts at a position
“start position” relative to the end of the barcode.
See the following pages for a detailed explanation and examples.
If needed, all masks can be cleared with one command. See the X014
command on page 25.
