41MS100 Manual
Modifiers:
Original Data - Part or all of the original data string can be selected. The
programming bar codes must be entered in the following sequence:
O-STR,P,N, - where “O-STR” announces that the next bar code inputs refer
to where the output should begin and how many characters should be
output.
For example, if 7 characters are to be output beginning with the 4th charac-
ter, the bar code scanning sequence should be “O-STR,4,7,”. If we want all
the characters after the 4th character output, the sequence should be “O-
STR,4,#,”, with the “#” character signifying that the entire string should be
output. Should you decide that the last two characters should not be output,
the sequence would be “O-STR,4,#-2,”, with “#-2” specifying all remaining
minus 2.
Data Editing, continued
Additional Data - User-specified data can be added by simply surrounding
it with quotation marks. For instance, if you want to follow the original data
with the characters “123”, then simply add ”123”, after the O-STR parameter.
If the additional data is to be added before the original data, then it needs to
precede the O-STR parameter. Additional data can be scanned in from the
Function Code or ASCII Code pages (pages 43 through 47).
Thus, if we want to output just the first five characters only from UPC-A input and
follow it with three “0”s, the scanning sequence would be the following:
Enter Group 9 IN_ID , 3 , O-STR , 1 , 5 , “ 0 0 0 “ , Enter Exit
If we only want to treat UPC-A this way, but still want other symbologies to output
normally, the scanning sequence would be the following:
Enter Group 9 IN_ID , 3 , O-STR , 1 , 5 , “ 0 0 0 “ , Enter
IN_ID , 19 , O-STR , 1 , # , Enter Exit
Finally, end the programming sequence with the “Enter” bar code. Do not follow it
with a comma. If you need to add another formula, do so now by scanning the
“IN_ID” bar code directly, followed by the rest of the second formula’s parameters.
Lastly, scan the “Exit” bar code.
Special Characters
, Comma - Used as a separator between formula parameters, beginning
with the IN_ID parameter and ending with the Enter parameter.
“ Quotation Mark - Used to begin and end a character string. A character
string bounded by quotation marks is treated as a single unit, and would
be written as “abcd”.
* Asterisk - Wild character used to specify any digit or any position.
# Hash Sign - Wild character used to specify any letter or last position.
