5. DATA FORMATTING
5-2 Add a Data Format
Step1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol
Step2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your 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 which alternate format you are
programming. (See "Primary/Alternate Data Formats" for further
information.)
Step3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table and locate the Terminal ID number for your
PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program
the scan engine for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For
example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, find the symbology to which you want to apply
the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2
digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code
I.D
Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for
this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart inside the back cover of this manual. For example, 50 characters is
entered as 0050.
Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands. Scan the symbols that
represent the command you want to enter.
Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving
your changes.
