Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options.
Default = Data Formatter On.
When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for-
mat or the scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.
Alternate Data Formats
Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro-
grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-
mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
