The strings are inserted into the output according to their type, Preambles are inserted at the front, Postambles are inserted at
the back, and Termination strings are inserted at the back just after Postambles. The output for the two bar codes in the table
above would be as follows:
Code 39
<String #2><String #5><String #7><bar code data><String #1><String #4><String #3>
Code 128
<String #7><bar code data><String #1><String #4><String #3>
String #1: Scan Direction: ANY
<>
Select the direction from which the bar code must be scanned in order for the string to be inserted in the output. To add a string
to bar codes that are read from the forward direction only, set this option to FORWARD.
Note: It does not make sense to use this option when the input device used for scanning is a Laser or CCD. This option is
only useful for SLOT (Badge) or WAND readers.
String #1: Type: TERMINATION STRING TYPE
The TERMINATION string is a 32 character string that is sent after all bar code data and all POSTAMBLES. The default
Termination String is the ENTER key. You may define more than one TERMINATION string, each TERMINATION string will be
appended to the previous when transmitted to the computer.

String #1: Type: PREAMBLE STRING TYPE
The PREAMBLE string is a 32 character string that is sent before all bar code data. You may define more than one PREAMBLE
string, each PREAMBLE string will be appended to the previous when transmitted to the computer.
String #1: Preamble String: $0D
ASCII
Key in the string that you wish to use as a preamble string. You may use any of the special characters as described above on
page 24.
String #1: Type: POSTAMBLE STRING TYPE
The POSTAMBLE string is a 32 character string that is sent after bar code data but before any TERMINATION strings that may
be defined. You may define more than one POSTAMBLE string, each POSTAMBLE string will be appended to the previous
when transmitted to the computer.
