The Formula Sequence

A basic data editing formula for the Omni has the following structure. (The

optional commands are enclosed in brackets):

CODE ID[LENGTH][MATCH]DIVIDE[ADD]SEND

In other words:

1. Identify the bar code symbologies and/or magnetic stripe tracks to which

this formula will apply.

2. Specify data length parameters (if desired).

3. Specify the characters (if any) you would like to match.

4. Indicate how you want to divide the data record.

5. Add a character string (if desired).

6. Send the edited data record to the host computer.

Several code IDs can be specified following the CODE ID command, and

several ADD commands can be programmed as long as they are grouped

together and placed prior to the SEND command.

Note: For non-printable ASCII code, use the Alt-numeric key combination from the

numeric keypad.
