Chapter 10 Data Editing Data Editing Overview It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces. CAUTION When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary userdefined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.
Data Editing Please Keep In Mind... • Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE. • A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings) across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
Global Prefix/Suffix 6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode. 7. The resulting message string would appear as follows: Scanned barcode data:12345 Resulting message string output: $12345 This option sets up to 20 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or any hex value from 00 to FF.
Data Editing Global AIM ID This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology types. NOTE AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows: • A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by... • A code character (see the table below), followed by... • A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).
Global AIM ID Global AIM ID — continued ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE DEFAULT Global AIM ID = Disable Global AIM ID = Enable Product Reference Guide 99
Data Editing GS1-128 AIM ID If Global AIM ID is disabled, the AIM ID for GS1-128 can be enabled/disabled independently. The AIM ID for GS1-128 is a ]C1, ]C2 or ]C3. AIM IDs for other symbologies can be enabled/disabled independently as well. Contact Customer Support for assistance.
Label ID Label ID A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x01-0xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets on page 101) or individually per symbology (see Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology on page 103).
