Suffix Selections
Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the 
scanned data, the image scanner transmits the function code to the terminal.  
Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys start-
ing on page 7-3.  When the image scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the 
scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. 
Default = Enable.
Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage 
Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.  
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of 
data, increasing data integrity.
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step.  You can program up to 99 
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the 
transmission of each character of scanned data.  Scan the Intercharacter 
Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar 
code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the 
number of steps to 0.  Scan the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart 
inside the back cover of this manual.
Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.
User Specified Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed after the trans-
mission of a particular character of scanned data.  Scan the Delay Length bar 
code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using 
the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. 
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value 
for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay ASCII Conversion Chart (Code 
Page 1252)on page A-4.
To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number of 
steps to 0.  Scan the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart inside the 
back cover of this manual.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner’s output.  For 
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain 
points in bar code data as it is scanned.  The selections in the following pages 
are used only if you wish to alter the output.  
Default Data Format setting = 
None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is output automatically; however when 
you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on 
page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the image scanner.  They are stacked 
in the order in which they are entered.  However, the following list presents the 
order in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and 
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.
To Add a Data Format
Step 1.Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate 
formats.  (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan 
one bar code using a different data format.  After the one bar code has 
been read, the image scanner reverts to the primary data format.  See 
page 5-5.)  If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the 
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.  If you are 
programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the 
alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter-
minal ID number for your PC.  Scan three numeric bar codes on the 
inside back cover to program the image scanner for your terminal ID 
(you must enter 3 digits).  For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge. 
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099. 
						

							5 - 2
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the  Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the 
data format.  Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 
digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of 
this manual.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable 
for this symbology.  Scan the four digit data length from the Program-
ming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.  (Note: 50 characters 
is entered as 0050.  9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) 
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2).  Scan the 
symbols that represent the command you want to enter.  94 alphanu-
meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.
Step 7.Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this 
manual to save your entries.
Other Programming Selections
Clear One Data Format 
This deletes one data format for one symbology.   If you are clearing the 
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of 
this manual.  If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending 
on the alternate format you are clearing.  Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the 
Supported Terminals Chart on page 2-2), Code I.D. (refer to the Symbology 
Charton page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format 
that you want to delete.  All other formats remain unaffected.
Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.
Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

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.  
Default = Data Formatter On.
Enter Data Format
* Default Data Format
Clear One Data Format
Save
Discard Clear All Data Formats
Data Formatter Off * Data Formatter On,
but Not Required 
						

							5 - 5
When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for-
mat or the image scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.
Alternate Data Formats
Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a 
different data format than your primary format.  When data formats are pro-
grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-
mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar 
codes below.  The image scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the 
data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary 
format. 
Data Format On, Format Required
Alternate Data Format 1
Alternate Data Format 2
Alternate Data Format 3
