FB Example:  Remove spaces in bar code data
This example shows a bar code that has spaces in the data.  You may 
want to remove the spaces before sending the data.  Using the bar 
code above:
Command string:  FB0120F10D
FB is the “Suppress characters” command
01 is the number of character types to be suppressed
20 is the hex value for a space
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:  34567890

Stop suppressing characters
FC Disables suppress...

F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:  1234

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 the CP1252 character.  
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page...

If this bar code is read: the data is output as:  
1234AB

Check for non-numeric character
ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the 
current cursor position.  The format is aborted if the character is 
numeric. 
ED Example:  Only output the data if the bar code begins with a 
letter
If you want only data from bar codes that begin with a letter, you can 
use ED to check for the letter.
Command string:  EDF10D
ED is the “Check for a non-numeric character” command
F1 is the...

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 symbology.
Message Length
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies.   
If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, 
the scanner will issue an error beep.  You...

EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, 
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the 
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the  inside the back 
cover of this manual.  The minimum and maximum lengths and the...

Default = Don’t Transmit.
Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.”  You can pro-
gram the scanner to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check char-
acters.  Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar code 
data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only 
read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will...
