Data Editing#
Introduction#
After the scan engine decodes successfully, the device obtains a string of data, which can be numbers, English, symbols, etc. In practical applications, we may not only need barcode data, or the data contained in the barcode cannot meet your needs. For example, you may want to know which type of barcode the string of data obtained comes from, or append special data to this string of data, which may not be included in the barcode data.
Adding these contents when making codes will inevitably increase the length of the barcode and lack flexibility, which is not an advocated approach. At this time, we thought of artificially adding some content in front or behind the barcode data, and these added contents can be changed in real time according to needs, and you can choose to add or block them. This is the suffix and suffix of the barcode data. The method of adding suffixes and suffixes meets the needs without modifying the content of the barcode information.
Note
Data editing format:
Terminator settings#
During the use of the scan engine, users can add corresponding terminators to the scan engine according to their needs.
* Add Carriage Return CR#
TAB#
* Add Newline LF#
Add CRLF#
Enter 2 Times#
Terminator None#
Code ID Settings#
In the process of using the scan engine, users often need to know the symbology of the currently decode barcode. We can use the Code ID prefix to identify the barcode type. For the symbology corresponding to Code ID, please refer to Code ID and Symbology Reference Table. Code ID is hidden by default.
* None#
Enable Barcode ID (Prefix)#
Enable Barcode ID (Suffix)#
Custom Suffix#
Users can add prefix and suffix settings to the output data of the scan engine according to their needs. For example, when adding the prefix character “VC” to the barcode “123”, the output data received by the host is “VC123”. When the suffix character “DE” is added, the output data received by the host is “123DE”.
Prefix And Suffix Setting Barcode#
Add Prefix#
Scan Order
Scan “Add Prefix” first, and then scan the character setting barcodes in ASCII Code Table in sequence. Prefix characters can be added up to 32 characters.
To use the add prefix setting, first scan the “add prefix” setting barcode, and then scan the setting barcode corresponding to the corresponding characters in ASCII Code Table as required. The setup is now complete. Prefix characters can be added up to 32 characters.
Add Prefix#
Clear All Prefixes#
Add Suffix#
Scan Order
Scan “Add Suffix” first, and then scan the character setting barcodes in ASCII Code Table in order. Suffix characters can be added up to 32 characters.
To use the add suffix setting, first scan the “Add suffix” setting barcode, and then scan the setting barcode corresponding to the corresponding characters in ASCII Code Table as required. The setup is now complete. Suffix characters can be added up to 32 characters.
Add Suffix#
Clear All Suffixes#
Note
Clear suffix characters do not include the suffix terminator.
Exit Prefix And Suffix Settings#
When the user is using the process of adding suffix and suffix settings, and after scanning “Add prefix” or “Add suffix” but does not want to add suffix and suffix settings for the time being, he can scan the “Exit Add suffix and suffix” mode. Then do other things.
Exit Adding Prefix And Suffix#
Hidden Characters#
Users can hide the output data of the scan engine according to their needs. For example, for the barcode “123456”, when setting to hide the leading 2 characters, the output data received by the host is “3456”. When hiding the trailing 2 characters, the output data received by the host is “1234”.
Hide Characters Before And After#
Hide Prefixed Characters#
Users can scan the following barcodes according to their needs and set the corresponding number of leading characters to be hidden.
Hide Leading 1 Character#
Hide The First 2 Characters#
Hide The First 3 Characters#
Hide First 5 Characters#
Unhide Leading Characters#
Unhide Leading Characters#
Hide Trailing Characters#
Users can scan the following barcodes according to their needs and set the corresponding digits to hide the following characters.
Hide Trailing 1 Character#
Hide Trailing 2 Characters#
Hide Trailing 3 Characters#
Hide Trailing 5 Characters#
Unhide Trailing Characters#
Unhide Trailing Characters#
Hide Middle Characters#
Hide Middle Characters#
Users can scan the following setting barcode according to their needs to hide the corresponding middle characters.
Hide Intermediate Character Setting Logic
Scan the starting digit setting barcode first, and then scan the hidden digit setting barcode.
Example: When hiding the two characters “56” in the barcode “12345678”, scan the 4th character first, and then scan to hide the middle 2 characters. The output data received by the host is “123478”.
Start Bit Setting Barcode#
First Step
Scan a starting bit setting barcode to specify the hiding starting from the Mth character.
The last two digits are hexadecimal numbers.
Hide Middle N Characters#
Step 2
Scan a hidden number setting barcode to specify N characters to be hidden starting from the starting bit.
Unhide Middle Characters#
Unset
If you need to cancel the middle character hiding setting, scan the following setting barcode.
Unhide Middle Characters#
