Data Editing
Data Editing Overview
CAUTION
These features are not supported by the
USB-OEM interface.
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host
computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code 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 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 1 shows the available elements
you can add to a message string:

this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar
code data.

Please Keep In Mind...
