Alignment

Determines the alignment of data in messages.

Select:

To:

Left

Align data with the left side of a field.

Right

Align data with the right side of a field.

Minimum Length

Specifies the minimum number of characters (0-64) required in a
message field. Message fields less than the minimum length are
padded with a fill character.

Fill Character

Specifies the character to use for padding positions in a message
field that is less than the minimum length. Use any ASCII character
(0 to 255) as a fill character. The default = 32 (Space). Refer to
Appendix A for an ASCII conversion chart.

Replacement Strings

Specifies the exact string and/or metacharacters to use in the
replacement string.

Important: If you leave the Pass string blank and Match Exactly
checked, all decoded data is placed in the message field (functions
same as & metacharacter). Some earlier firmware releases required
a Pass rule.

Note: Replacement string fields support metacharacters. Refer to
Appendix C for a description of the available metacharacters. Make
sure that the characters you enter are not misinterpreted as a
metacharacter string or unintended operation may result.

Select:

To:

Pass

Specify a string to replace the bar code data field when the find
string is located in the message. If no string is provided and
Match Exactly is checked, all decoded data is placed in the
message.

Fail

Specify a string to replace the bar code data field when the find
string is not located in the message. If no string is provided, fill
characters are inserted into the message; the number of fill
characters depends upon the minimum message length.
