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 filter and clear all suppressed characters.  Syntax = 
FC.
Replace characters
E4 Replaces up to 15 characters in the output message, without moving 
the cursor.  Replacement continues until the E5 command is 
encountered.  Syntax = E4nnxx
1xx2yy1yy2...zz1zz2 where nn is the total 
count of of the number of characters in the list (characters to be 
replaced plus replacement characters); xx
1 defines characters to be 
replaced and xx
2 defines replacement characters, continuing through 
zz
1 and zz2.
E4 Example:  Replace zeroes with CRs in bar code data
If the bar code has characters that the host application does not want 
included, you can use the E4 command to replace those characters 
with something else.  In this example, you will replace the zeroes in the 
bar code above with carriage returns.
Command string:  E402300DF10D
E4 is the “Replace characters” command
02 is the total count of characters to be replaced, plus the replacement 
characters (0 is replaced by CR, so total characters = 2)
30 is the hex value for 0
0D is the hex value for a CR (the character that will replace the 0) 
						

							5 - 12
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 1252), page A-3 for 
decimal, hex and character codes.
Compare string
B2 Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.”  If the strings 
are equal, move the cursor forward past the end of the string.  Syntax 
= B2nnnnS  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, B2000454657374 will compare the string at the current 
cursor position with the 4 character string “Test.” 
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), 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.   
						

							5 - 13
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 “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 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 emulation.

Data Format Editor
Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as 
read (including prefixes and suffixes).  Choose one of the following options.  
Enter Data Format
* Default Data Format
Clear One Data Format
Save
Discard Clear All Data Formats 
						

							5 - 15
Default = Data Formatter On.
When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for-
mat or the scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.
Data Formatter Off * Data Formatter On,
but Not Required
Data Format On, Format Required

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 may wish to set the same value for 
minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code 
data.  This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
All Symbologies On
All Symbologies Off

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 defaults are 
included with the respective symbologies.

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 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 transmit this 
character at the end of the scanned data.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only 
read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the 
check character with the scanned data.
