FORMAT DEFINITION 
 
Method 1 - Extracting Information from Barcode 
 
Method 1 allows extracting one or more fields by position or by characters from the 
decoded barcode. These fields are sent to the host computer as data of the output 
message, while the characters not included in the formatting procedure will be 
deleted and not inserted in the output message. 
 
These two kinds of extraction (by position / by character) can be used together within 
the same format definition; furthermore, it possible to complete the new format by 
adding a new string of characters. Since there is no fixed rule, the procedures can be 
freely put in order and repeated according to your requirement. 
 
The only limit is determined by the size of the internal reserved memory used to 
define the format.
