Three applicable conditions can be configured to qualify whether the data read by 
the scanner can be processed by the particular editing format. Data editing will not 
be performed unless all three applicable conditions are met. The configurable 
applicable conditions are described below.  

• Code Type: This parameter specifies the code type of the data eligible for 

data editing. Multiple code types can be specified for this parameter. 

• Data Length: This parameter specifies the length (character count) of the 

data eligible for data editing. It is specified in the range format. The length 
of the data must fall between max and min length limits. If the max length 
and the min length configured is both zero, the scanner will not perform this 
length qualification. 

• Matching String and its Location: User can specify a particular character 

string (up to four characters) that must appear in the data that is eligible for 
data editing. User can also specify where (character position, starts from 
one) this string should appear in the data by configuring the matching string 
location. If the location specified is zero, the scanner only checks for the 
existence of the matching string in the data. To disable the matching string 
qualification, just leave the matching string empty. 

 

Data can be divided into at most 6 fields. The total number of fields must be 
correctly specified. The fields are numbered from F1 to F6 accordingly, but only 
F1 to F5 can be configured. Please note that, the number of fields can be 
configured is always one less than the total number of fields specified. The extra 
data characters beyond the last field configured will be automatically assigned to 
the next field. That is, if three fields are configured for the editing format, the data 
characters after F3 will be assigned to F4 automatically. 

 

Data eligible for editing format is divided into fields according to user specified 
rules. The rule for each field can be configured in two ways. 

• Field Terminating String: The field division can be specified by 

termination string of the field. The field terminating string configured can 
be up to two characters. The scanner will search for the occurrence of this 
particular string in the data for the field. The field terminating string is

always included in the field. User though, has the option of discarding this 
terminating string. 

• Field Length: The field division can be simply specified by the field length. 

The scanner will assign the next specified number of characters into the 
field. 

 

User can create up to five additional fields for each editing format. Each additional 
field can have at most four characters. The additional fields are numbered AF1 to 
AF5 accordingly. 

 

After the data fields and the additional fields are configured, user can now program 
the transmission sequence of these fields that comprise the final data. The “Start” 
label must be read before assigning the field transmission sequence. And then the 
desired field transmission sequence can be specified. The scanner will transmit the 
fields in the order (sequence) user programmed when sending data. The field 
transmission sequence can be assigned in any desired order and fields can also be 
assigned multiple times. The maximum number of fields can be assigned is twelve. 
After the sequence has been assigned, the “End” label must be read to complete the 
setting. 

 

After all the desired parameters are configured, the “End of Format Programming” 
label must be read to conclude the programming of the editing format. This label is 
located at the bottom of every even page in the “Editing Format Parameters” 
section of the configuration manual. 

 

Before data can be processed by a particular editing format, that format must be 
enabled. The editing formats can be enabled or disabled individually.
