F5 Example:  Move the cursor forward and send the data
Move the cursor forward 3 characters, then send the rest of the bar code data from the bar code above.  End with a 
carriage return.  
Command string:  F503F10D
F5 is the “Move the cursor forward a number of characters” command
03 is the number of characters to move the cursor
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:  
4567890ABCDEFGHIJ

Move the cursor backward a number of characters
F6 Move...

F8 Example:  Send bar code data that starts after a particular character
Search for the letter “D” in bar codes and send all the data that follows, including the “D.”  Using the bar code above:
Command string:  F844F10D
F8 is the “Search forward for a character” command
44 is the hex value for “D”
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:  
DEFGHIJ

Search backward for a character
F9 Search the input message backward for “xx” character from the...

Search forward for a non-matching character
E6 Search the input message forward for the first non-“xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving the cursor 
pointing to the non-“xx” character.  Syntax = E6xx  where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII 
code.  Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character 
codes.
E6 Example:  Remove zeroes at the beginning of bar code data

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 the number of characters 
in the list (characters to be replaced plus replacement characters); xx
1 defines characters to be replaced and xx2 defines 
replacement...

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. 
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...

Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes. 
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved.  The following settings can be applied 
to your data format:
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is...

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...

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 trigger pull by scanning the Single Scan-Data Format 1 bar code below.  The next bar code that is scanned 
uses Data Format 1, then reverts back to Data Format 3.

Symbologies
This programming section contains the following menu selections.  Refer to Chapter 12 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 reduce by scanning All Symbologies On. Only scan All Symbologies On...

EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15Max. 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 Programming Chart inside the back 
cover of this manual.  The minimum and maximum lengths...
