Check for non-numeric character

ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the

current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is
numeric.

Insert a delay

EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting

from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands
for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only
be used with keyboard wedge interfaces.

Discard Data

B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code

128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (

page 6-2

), select

6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter
B8FE41 to compare and discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with
the letter A.

Syntax = B8.

Note: Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format

Non-Match Error Tone is On (

page 6-11

), the scanner emits an error

tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is
disabled for reading and no tone is sounded. If Data Format is On,
but Not Required (

page 6-10

), bar code data that meets the B8

format is scanned and output as usual.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read, including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created
and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
transmitted. If a data format is

not found for that symbol, the prefixes and

suffixes

are transmitted.
