Data Editing Overview
CAUTION
It is not recommended to use these features
wi
th IBM interfaces.
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 user-defined
data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific
user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that ca
n be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific sym-
bologies.
Figure 4-1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar
code data.

• You can add any character from the
ASCII Chart (from 00-7F) on the inside back cover
of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in t
he order in which you want them to appear on the out-
put.
