NOTE

not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

This completes the procedure.

Data Editing

CAUTION

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along

with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined

data is called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-

defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned

data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbol-

ogies. Figure 9 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:
