DATA FORMAT
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example, 
you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar-
code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if 
you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it gets outputted automatically; however when 
you create a format, you must use a “send” command Send Commands within the 
format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the 
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in 
which formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes 
header information.
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return 
to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.
