Data Editing

Standard Data Editing Settings

This section describes how to configure common output rules such as prefixes, suffixes, and hidden characters by scanning Parameter Barcodes.

Prefix/Suffix and Hidden Character Settings

You can add up to 10 prefixes and/or 10 suffixes to the output data. To configure them, scan the two-digit hexadecimal Numeric Barcodes that correspond to the required ASCII value (that is, two barcodes per character).

See also

For character values, please refer to ASCII Function Key Character Reference Table and ASCII Character Reference Table; for parameters that require input of numerical values, please scan Numeric Barcode; for specific procedures, see Add a Prefix or Suffix.

Can be set to hide the first, middle or last characters of the barcode. After scanning the corresponding hidden Parameter Barcode, scan the two-digit hexadecimal Numeric Barcode corresponding to the length of the characters to be hidden (00~FF, for example, scan 0 and 4 in sequence when hiding 4 characters).

See Steps to Hide the First/Middle/Tail Characters of a Barcode for the hidden character process.

Procedure Examples

Add a Prefix or Suffix

1. If prefix and suffix output has not been enabled, please scan the corresponding Output Format Parameter Barcode first.

2. New characters are appended to the existing Prefix/Suffix. To replace the current Prefix/Suffix, first scan “Clear All Prefixes/Suffixes”, then configure the new values.

3. Scan the “Add Prefix” or “Add Suffix” Parameter Barcode.

4. Determines the hexadecimal value of the prefix or suffix to be entered based on ASCII Function Key Character Reference Table or ASCII Character Reference Table.

5. Scan the corresponding two-digit hexadecimal Numeric Barcode.

6. To continue adding characters, repeat steps 4 and 5.

Example

If you need to add Ctrl+A as a prefix, scan “Add Prefix” “9” “7” “4” “1” in sequence.

Example

If you need to add Ctrl+Alt+A as a suffix, scan “Add suffix” “9” “7” “9” “9” “4” “1” in sequence.

Steps to Hide the First/Middle/Tail Characters of a Barcode

1. Scan the Parameter Barcode for the barcode header, middle start position, middle length, or trailing characters.

2. Determine the hexadecimal value corresponding to the character length to be hidden (for example, hide 4 characters scan 0, 4; hide 12 characters scan 0, C).

3. Scan the corresponding two-digit hexadecimal Numeric Barcode.

4. Enable or disable the hidden character function through the Output Format Parameter Barcode.

Extended Data Editing Settings

This section lets you generate data editing Parameter Barcodes from complete commands in one step. It is intended for batch configuration, remote serial-command delivery, or character replacement.

One-Code Setup Command Format

Edit format:

$DATA#ncllxx#

n

1 suffix; 2 prefix; 3 hides the tail content of the barcode; 4 hides the middle content of the barcode; 5 hides the first content of the barcode; 7 replaces characters.

c

Code ID currently supports only 0, which indicates all symbologies.

ll

Length as a hexadecimal value: Prefix/Suffix 01~0A, hidden characters 01~FF, replacement data 01~05.

xx

ASCII value. Hexadecimal can be represented by \x plus two characters, and the character range is 0~9, A~F.

One-Code Setup Examples

Command	Description
$DATA#1005abcd\x03#	Add 0x05 suffixes: abcd + 0x03.
$DATA#200ANETUM12345#	Add 0x0A prefix NETUM12345.
$DATA#3008#	Hide the last 0x08 characters of the barcode.
$DATA#40050A#	Hides the 0x0A characters after the 0x05 character in the barcode.
$DATA#5011#	Hide barcode header 0x11 bytes.
$DATA#7001\x1D02GS#	Replace GS (0x1D) characters with GS.
$DATA#7002NT01Z#	Replace NT with Z.

Character replacement operation

Format: $DATA#70 + replaced character length + replaced characters + replacement data length + replacement data #

The sum of the lengths of the replaced characters and the replacement characters is <= 6, supporting 1~6 characters being replaced by 5~0 characters.

Read replacement settings

Clear replacement settings

Example

$DATA#7001\x1D02GS# means replacing the non-displayable character GS (0x1D) with GS for display.

Character replacement operation: GS to text GS

Example

$DATA#7001\x0A01\x0D# means replacing LF (0x0A) with CR (0x0D).

Character replacement operation: LF to CR

Example

$DATA#7006ABCDEF00# means replacing the string ABCDEF with an empty string, that is, not displaying it.

Terminator Settings

Note

This terminator is independent of the scan engine suffix and wireless Prefix/Suffix, which facilitates quick setting when the scan engine has no suffix.
