While the Data Formatter is enabled, it arranges only scanned data without Preamble, Postamble, STX, ETX,
Data Length, Prefix/Suffix Symbology ID or Record Suffix. All of the above programmable parameters perform
the same function depending on your setting.
Regarding the “Bar Code Selection” and “Position Calculation” of data formatter, please refer to page 110
and 111 for details. All “Character” input should be referred to the ASCII/HEX Table listed in the Appendix
(page 119) to find matched HEX value.
