Datalogic Scanning QD2100 User Manual

Data Editing

•

Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement.  Data editing is sophisticated 
feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings 
for data editing is typically set to NONE.

•

A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the 

Symbologies

 chapter for these settings) 

across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).

•

You can add any character from the 

ASCII Chart

 (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover 

of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.

•

Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode 
data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in 

Figure 4

.

In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned barcode data. In this 

example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.

3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.

4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value 

assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 
24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from 

Appendix E, Key-

pad

.

5. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar-

code to terminate the string.
