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 formats allow you “single shot”

capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After

the one bar code has been read, the imager reverts to the primary

data format. 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. Interface Type

Select the Interface ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric

bar codes on the inside back cover to program the imager for your

Interface ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 0 for

RS-232.

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

Find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format.

Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex

value.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be

acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from

the the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered

as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to

Data Format Editor Commands

. Scan the symbols that

represent the command you want to enter 94 alphanumeric

characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your entries.
