To set up your path formula:
- Select a pre-defined value from the list box. After you select an item,
click
Add Item
.
Continue to add all pre-defined values until your path formula
is complete.
- Click
OK
when the path formula is complete.
NOTES: Selecting
Delete Item
deletes the last pre-defined value added.
Delete Formula
deletes the entire path formula.
In addition to default values, the pre-defined values list contains
syntax strings to help build a fully qualified path and file name
(i.e., “\” and “.DAT”). You can also use a special substring syntax,
enclosed within square brackets, to retain a certain portion of a
default value (e.g., [1, 4]). See the section entitled “Substring
syntax” for formats and examples.
2. For each index field you wish to define, enter a description in the
Label column.

Convert Chars
as the field type
from the drop-down list box in the Type column.
4. Select the
Setup
button to the right of the Type field to indicate whether
the index field value is checked during scanning.
When an index field is checked during scanning, the field’s default value is
audited against the Minimum Length and Input Mask requirements for the
field. If the audit fails, you will be prompted during scanning to correct the
field value. If all defined index fields are not checked during scanning,
scanning is not interrupted. You must access the Batch Index Fields dialog
box (
Edit Batch fields
option from the Index menu) to correct any invalid
index field values.
You must enter character pairs in the
Convert Chars
text field setup. In the
text box, enter an original character and the character to which the original
character will be changed, then click on the
Add Item
button. This field
type is useful for selected bar code types that do not allow special local
language characters.
