Data Editing
CAUTION
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM inter-
faces.
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 Data Editing
features can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data c
haracters that can be sent before
and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbol-
ogies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 15 shows the available ele-
ments you can add to a message string:

Label ID Transmission:
Enable this option to
transmit the Label ID you
configure for the scanned
symbology.
AIM ID: This function is used to identify and display the
common label identifier for its symbology. When enabled,
this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar
code data.

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting fea-
tures in the Datalogic Aladdin configurat
ion software, or contact Technical
Support (described on
page 11
for more information.
Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing
is a sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for
advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to
NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference
Code Selection, starting on page 111) or across all symbologies (set via
the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside
back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the orde
r in which you want them to appear
on the output.
