2.6  DEFINING DATA FORMATTING 
 
The string of a decoded code to be sent to the host may be formatted as follows: 
• defining 
simple 
data formatting (see page 42); 
• defining 
advanced data formatting giving complete flexibility in changing the 
 
When both simple and advanced data formatting are selected the info is processed in 
the following order: 
 
1.  the string of the decoded code is processed according to the advanced 
formatting rules; 
2.  the resulting string is processed according to the selection type rules of the 
simple data formatting; 
3.  character substitution is performed on the resulting string; 
4.  character deletion is performed on the resulting string; 
5.  code concatenation is performed; 
6.  code ID is attached to the resulting string; 
7.  global headers and terminators are attached to the resulting string; 
 
 
The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the 
following two conditions: 
 
• 
one code per scan: PowerScan® D8530 sends the code being closest to the 
image center. If the "Central Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the 
code containing the image center will be transmitted (see page 72); 
 
 
• 
all codes per scan: the codes to be sent to the host may be ordered either by 
length or by symbology starting from the code being closest to the image center 
(see page 72). When enabling both these criteria, codes belonging to the same 
symbology are sent to the host depending on their length.
