Method 2 - Manipulating the Barcode Data
Method 2 allows modifying the barcode data by means of one of the following procedures:
• String insertion;
• String deletion;
• String substitution;
• Field deletion.
Once the data has been modified, it is sent to the host com
puter as data of the output
message.
Unlike Method 1 this method does not allow associating different procedures together. This
means that each format definition corresponds to a
single procedure. Despite this, it possible
to add a new string of characters to the beginning or ending part of the formatted barcode.
The only limit is determined by the size of the internal reserved memory
used to define the
format.
STRING INSERTION
To complete this procedure proceed as follows:
Define Format
1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
End Format Definition
