FE Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character “xx.” If characters are equal, move the cursor

forward one position. Syntax = FExx where xx stands for the comparison character’s hex value for its ASCII code.

beginning on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

Check for a number

EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is

not numeric.

EC Example: Only output the data if the bar code begins with a number

If you want only data from bar codes that begin with a number, you can use EC to check for the number.

Command string: ECF10D

EC is the “Check for a number” command

F1 is the “Send all characters” command

0D is the hex value for a CR

If this bar code is read,

the next data format, if there is one, will be used on the data. If there

is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is output as AB1234.

If this bar code is read:

the data is output as:

1234AB
