Chapter 3 Data Formatting
Introduction
After a successful barcode read, a string
containing numbers, letters or symbols will be
returned.
In real applications, barcode data may be found
insufficient for your needs. You may wish to
include additional information such as barcode
type, data acquisition time or delimiter in data
being scanned.
Adding extra information to printed barcodes
does not seem like a sensible solution since that
will increase the barcode size and make them
inflexible. Instead, we come up with the idea of
appending prefix and suffix to the data without
making any change to barcodes. We will show
you how to conduct the configuration in the
following sections.
Note: Customized data: <Prefix> <Data><Suffix>
<Terminating Character>
