Reviewing Configuration Settings
The settings for each group can be reviewed by first entering the
ENTER SETUP MODE command for that group followed by the RE-
VIEW SETTINGS command in the menu sheets. The reader will then
send a list of the settings to the host. The COPY CON command is
programmed to precede the listing and is needed to prevent the “Bad
command or file name” DOS error message.

Resetting to Defaults
There are two ways to reset the Omni reader to its default settings. The
first is to enter the individual group RESET commands included with
the configuration menus for the group. This will reset only that group
to the default settings. If you want to reset all groups to their default
settings, first enter the Terminal Type Group SETUP command, then
enter the RESET ALL command from the Terminal Selections Group
menu, or swipe on Code 39 bar code /E/D/FW.

DATA EDITING
The Omni can format data by adding preambles, postambles, and
terminator characters. It can also edit data, breaking it into blocks that
can be rearranged, added to, deleted, or duplicated prior to being sent
to the host computer.
In short, the data editing feature allows the data read from a bar code or
magnetic stripe to be sent to the host in the exact format expected by
the host software, eliminating the need for modifications to the applica-
tion software. It can also be divided according to established standards
(such as ISO, ANSI, AAMVA, and CDL).
The edited data fields can then be transmitted to the host computer in
any order desired, regardless of their position on the original bar code
or magnetic stripe.
