Insert bar code length
B4 Insert the bar code’s length in the output message, without moving the cursor.  The length is expressed as a numeric 
string and does not include leading zeros.
B3 and B4 Example:  Insert the symbology name and length
Send the symbology name and length before the bar code data from the bar code above.  Break up these insertions 
with spaces.  End with a carriage return.  
Command string:  B3F42001B4F42001F10D
B3 is the “Insert symbology name” command
F4 is the “Insert a...

Move the cursor to the beginning
F7 Move the cursor to the first character in the input message.  Syntax = F7.
FE and F7 Example:  Manipulate bar codes that begin with a 1
Search for bar codes that begin with a 1.  If a bar code matches, move the cursor back to the beginning of the data and 
send 6 characters followed by a carriage return.  Using the bar code above:
Command string:  FE31F7F2060D
FE is the “Compare characters” command
31 is the hex value for 1
F7 is the “Move the cursor to the...

Search forward for a string
B0 Search forward for “s” string from the current cursor position, leaving cursor pointing to “s” string.  Syntax = B0nnnnS 
where nnnn is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string.  
For example, B0000454657374 will search forward for the first occurrence of the 4 character string “Test.”
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2 for decimal, hex and character codes.
B0 Example:  Send...

7 - 8
Search backward for a non-matching character
E7 Search the input message backward for the first non-“xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving the cursor 
pointing to the non-“xx” character.  Syntax = E7xx  where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII 
code.  Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2 for decimal, hex and character codes.
Miscellaneous Commands
Suppress characters
FB Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters,...

7 - 9
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:  
1234
5678
ABC

Stop replacing characters
E5 Terminates character replacement.  Syntax = E5.
Compare characters
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.  
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2 for decimal, hex and character...

If this bar code is read,    the next data format, if there is one, will be used on this data.  If there 
is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is output as 1234AB. 
If this bar code is read:  the data is output as:  
AB1234

Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn 
where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999.  This command can only be used with keyboard wedge...

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone
When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, the scanner normally generates an error 
tone.  However, you may want to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone.  If you scan the Data Format 
Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will 
sound.  If you wish to hear the error tone when a non-matching bar code is found, scan the Data Format...

Single Scan Data Format Change
You can also switch between data formats for a single scan.  The next bar code is scanned using an alternate data format, 
then reverts to the format you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).
For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as Data Format 3.  You can switch to Data Format 
1 for a single button press by scanning the following Single Scan-Data Format 1 bar code.  The next bar code that is 
scanned uses Data Format 1,...

Symbologies
This programming section contains the following menu selections.  Refer to Chapter 10 for settings and defaults.
All Symbologies
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, scan the All Symbologies On code.  If on the other hand, 
you want to decode only a particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for that particular sym-
bology.
Note: Scanner performance may be slower when using All Symbologies.  Enable just the necessary...

Codabar

Codabar On/Off
Codabar Start / Stop Characters
Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/
Stop characters.  Default = Don’t Transmit.
Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.”  You can program the scanner to read only Codabar bar 
codes with Modulo 16, Modulo 7 CD, or CLSI check characters.  Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the...
