When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for-
mat or the image scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one barcode using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro-
grammed (see

page 5-1

), you must input whether you are programming the pri-

mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar-
codes below. The image scanner will scan the next barcode, formatting the
data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary
format.
