Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the document reader's output. For example, you can use
the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selec-
tions 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 do a format, you
must use a "send" command (see
data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the document reader. 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 Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
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 on

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate for-
mats allow you "single shot" capability to scan one barcode using a different data format. After
the one barcode has been read, the document reader reverts to the primary data format. See
page 5-4.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or
3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Supported Terminals
Scan three numeric barcodes on the inside back cover to program the document reader for
your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
