Bar Code Message Formatting Selections (Group C )
Scanned bar code data can be formatted with the addition of preambles,
postambles, and terminator characters. The settings below will augment bar
code data scanned by the Omni. A fully-formatted message block reflects the
following model:
{Preamble}{Code ID}{Data}{Terminator}{Postamble}
1. Enter BAR CODE MESSAGE FORMATTING SETUP MODE by typing
/E/D/FC.
2. Press <ENTER>. The reader should beep twice.
3. Type the two-character selection code for the feature you wish to change.
4. Press <ENTER>. The reader should beep twice.
5. Type the one-character code for the change you wish to make.
6. Press <ENTER>. The reader should beep twice.
7. Save the change and exit the Bar Code Setup Mode by typing CZ.
8. Press <ENTER>. The reader should beep four times.
Note: To review the group’s current setting(s), type CY<ENTER> while in the setup
mode. To reset the current setting(s) to its group default, type CX<ENTER> while in
Bar Code Setup Mode.
Bar Code Terminator Character
Enter and Line Feed, Enter, Line Feed, or None: For some applications, it
may be convenient to end a string of bar code scan data with a terminator
character. For example, with keyboard entry, it is common to have the opera-
tor signify the end of the data input with the “Enter” keystroke. The termina-
tor character serves this function.
SELECTION CODE: C1
RETURN and Line Feed A
RETURN B
Line Feed C
None D
EXAMPLE:
To set the bar code terminator character to Line Feed, enter:
/E/D/FC<ENTER>C1<ENTER>C<ENTER>CZ<ENTER>
