Scan Mask Barcode scanning seng that allows for the selecon of specic
character posions to be retained.
• The rst posion (the posion farthest to the le) is numbered
posion "1".
• The scanmask eld will accept a text input consisng of numbers
1-9, commas (','), and hyphens ('-') to idenfy the scanmask
selecon.
• If, for example, the barcode reads "abcdefghi1234567890" and
the selecon paern is "2,5-8,11-14" then the barcode will be
interpreted as "befgh2345". If the selecon paern is "3-4", then
the barcode will be "cd".
• Individual posion selecons that are separated by a comma
such as "2,4,7,8,19" cannot be duplicated.
• In each number range, the starng number must be smaller than
the ending number. For example, "3-5" is a valid range, but "5-3"
is not.
• Selecon ranges cannot overlap. The end of each number range
must be smaller than the beginning of the next number range.
For example, "3-6,7-9" is a valid selecon, but "3-6,6-9" is not.
• Entering consecuve commas or hyphens is invalid. For example,
"2--5", "2-5,,7-10", and "2,-5" are all invalid ranges.
