Edit #1: Bar Code Length: ANY <> 
Use this option to define the length of the bar code for which the edit is active. Setting this option to 5 will make the edit for
active for bar codes that have a length of 5 data characters. The default for this option is ANY, meaning that the length of the
bar code is unimportant and that the edit will be executed for any length bar code.
Note: If you are entering a specific length requirement for your edit operation, the Length that you specify should be the
original unmodified bar code length.
Edit #1: Bar Code Contains String:
ASCII 
Use this option to define a string that must be present in the bar code in order for the edit to be executed. Leaving this option
blank will not require any string to be found in the bar code data. For example, entering 123 in this option will make the edit
active only for bar codes that contain 123 in the bar code.
Edit #1: String Begins At: ANY LOCATION
<> 
This option is used in conjunction with the Bar Code Contains String option to define the beginning location of the string.
Setting this option to ANY LOCATION will inform the decoder to search for the Bar Code Contains String anywhere in the bar
code. You may define the location for the string to begin as an offset from the start of the bar code or an offset from the end of
the bar code.
Edit #1: Operation: STRIP LEADING CHARACTERS OPERATION
This operation allows you to strip leading characters from the beginning of the bar code. You define the number of characters to
strip and the offset from the start of the bar code to begin stripping. The stripping will begin at the Strip From Position location
and will continue to the right until the specified number of characters are stripped.
Edit #1: # Of Leading Chars to Strip: 0
<> 
Enter the number of leading characters that you would like to have stripped from the bar code.
Edit #1: Strip From Position: START + 0
<> 
Enter the offset from which to begin the stripping. START + 0, is used to indicate the very beginning of the bar code data.
START + n will begin stripping after the nth character in the bar code, where n is a number between 1 and 255.
Edit #1: Operation: STRIP TRAILING CHARACTERS OPERATION
This operation allows you to strip trailing characters from the end of the bar code. You define the number of characters to strip
and the offset from the end of the bar code to begin the stripping. The stripping will begin at the Strip From Position location
and will continue to the left until the specified number of characters are stripped.
Edit #1: # Of Trailing Chars to Strip: 0
<> 
Enter the number of trailing characters to be stripped from the bar code.
Edit #1: Strip From Position: END - 0
<> 
Enter the offset from which to begin the stripping. END - 0, is used to indicate the very end of the bar code data. END - n will
begin stripping before the nth character from the end of the bar code, where n is a number between 1 and 255.
Edit #1: Operation: FILTER LEADING CHARACTERS OPERATION
This operation is used to remove characters of a matching type from the beginning of bar code data. Where STRIP LEADING
CHARACTERS is used to strip a specific number of characters from the bar code, FILTER LEADING CHARACTERS is used to
remove matching characters from the bar code such as leading zeros.
<>
Edit #1: Leading Filter Character: DEC 0 HEX 00 ASCII ALT 
Enter the matching character to remove from the beginning of the bar code data. To remove leading zeros from the bar code
data, set this option to 0 DEC 48 HEX 30.
Edit #1: Operation: FILTER TRAILING CHARACTERS OPERATION
This operation is used to remove characters of a matching type from the end of the bar code data. Where STRIP TRAILING
CHARACTERS is used to strip a specific number of characters from the bar code, FILTER TRAILING CHARACTERS is used to
remove matching characters from the bar code such as trailing spaces.
