DATA EDITING OVERVIEW
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 can be sent before and after
sc
anned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with spe‐
cific symbologies. Figure 10 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

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.

Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisti‐
cated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default
set
tings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the
1D Symbologies chapter for these set‐
tings) or across all symbologies (set via the
Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the
ASCII Character Set (from 00‐FF) on the inside
back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the out‐
put.
