5 Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner's output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None. Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is output automatically; however when you do a format, you must use a "send" command (see Send Commands on page 5-2) within the format program to output data. Multiple formats may be programmed into the image scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied: 1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length 2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length 3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length 4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length 5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length 6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length 7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length 8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4. To Add a Data Format Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4). Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you "single shot" capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has been read, the image scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming. Step 3. Terminal Type Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the image scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge. Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099. 5 - 1

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner’s output.
For
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain
points in bar code data as it is scanned.
The selections in the following pages
are used only if you wish to alter the output.
Default Data Format setting =
None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is output automatically; however when
you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see
Send Commands
on
page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the image scanner.
They are stacked
in the order in which they are entered.
However, the following list presents the
order in which formats are applied:
1.
Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2.
Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3.
Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4.
Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5.
Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6.
Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7.
Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8.
Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the
Default Data Format
code on
page 5-4
.
To Add a Data Format
Step 1.
Scan the
Enter Data Format
symbol (
page 5-4
).
Step 2.
Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats.
(Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan
one bar code using a different data format.
After the one bar code has
been read, the image scanner reverts to the primary data format.
See
page 5-5
.)
If you are programming the primary format, scan
0
using the
Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.
If you are
programming an alternate format, scan
1
,
2
, or
3
, depending on the
alternate format you are programming.
Step 3.
Terminal Type
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (
page 2-2
) and locate the Ter-
minal ID number for your PC.
Scan three numeric bar codes on the
inside back cover to program the image scanner for your terminal ID
(you must enter 3 digits).
For example, scan
0 0 3
for an AT wedge.
Note:
The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
