Data Editing
CAUTION
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along
with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined
data is called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-
defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characte
rs that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbol-
ogies. Figure 9 shows the available elements you can add to a message string
:
