OTHER: Reverse Image Decoding: OFF
 
Use this option to enable and disable reverse image decoding. Reverse image decoding is where the spaces are in printed in a
darker color than the bars. This is the case when a bar code is etched into glass or printed on a film master. With this option
enabled you may read both reverse image and normal image bar codes at the same time.

OTHER: Send Bar Code Type ID: OFF
 
Use this option to configure how the bar code Type IDs are transmitted to the computer. You may disable transmission, transmit
them AS A SUFFIX or AS A PREFIX. If the Type ID is transmitted AS A PREFIX, the Type ID will appear before the bar code
data, but after any PREAMBLE strings that you have defined. If this option is set to AS A SUFFIX the Type ID will appear after any
bar code data including supplements but before any POSTAMBLE strings.
Editing F3
Select Edit Number: 1 GROUP
The editing category is divided up into 5 different edit groups. Each edit group can contain a separate operation. When a bar code
is decoded, the decoder will pass through each of the edits that have been defined and determine if it needs to be executed. Each
of the edits are additive, the results of the previous edits can be modified by the next edit executed. For example if Edit #1 is
defined to insert a leading zero and Edit #2 is defined to filter all leading zero and they are both defined to be active for CODE 39
bar codes of ANY size, the first edit will always be canceled out by the second. The first edit will insert the leading zero and the
second will remove the leading zero.
Edit #1: Operation: OFF
 
The first step in defining an edit is setting the operation. You may choose from 9 different operations ranging from STRIP
LEADING CHARACTERS to CONVERT TO LOWERCASE. Each operation is described below and all of its unique sub-options
are defined after each operation description. Every operation shares four common sub-options the Active For, Bar Code Length,
Bar Code Contains String, and String Found At options.
Edit #1: Active For: ALL BAR CODE TYPES
 
Use this option to specify the bar code types for which the edit is active. You may choose a specific symbology or you may choose
to have the edit active for all bar code symbologies or all bar code symbologies always. For example, if you define an edit as
Active For CODE 39 and you read a CODE 128 bar code, the edit will not be executed. The following is a more detailed
description of each of the settings for this option:
ALL BAR CODE TYPES Will activate the edit for all bar code types except when an edit is defined for the specific bar code type
that was read. For example, if you have defined Edit #1 as Active For ALL BAR CODE TYPES and Edit
#2 as Active For CODE 39 and you read a CODE 39 bar code, then Edit #2 will be executed and Edit #1
will be ignored.
ALL BAR CODE TYPES - ALWAYS Will activate the edit for all bar code types, whether an edit was defined for the specific
bar code type that was read or not. For example, if you defined Edit #1 as Active For ALL BAR CODE
TYPES - ALWAYS and Edit #2 as Active For CODE 39 and you read a CODE 39 bar code, both Edit #1
and Edit #2 will be executed.
CODE 39, CODE 128, etc Setting the Active For to a specific bar code symbology will activate the edit for bar codes that are
read that match the symbology. If you define more than a single edit to be Active For the same bar code
type, each edit is executed in turn. For example, if you define edits #1 and #2 as Active For CODE 39 and
you read a CODE 39 bar code, then Edit #1 is executed and then Edit #2 is executed.
Note: If you define an edit as Active For a specific symbology it will override any edits that are Active For ALL BAR CODE
TYPES.
Order of Precedence
When performing edits the decoder will follow a specific order of precedence. The decoder will make multiple passes
through the defined edits.
