169 Update Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 5.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied. When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted. When “Apply Output Sequence” is enabled, only barcodes found meeting with the criteria are counted for the concatenation. Those found not meeting with the criteria ar e processed normally and individually. Note: When it requires reading more barcodes to complet e the “output sequence” requirements, the scanner will respond with one short beep ( low tone). After reading an acceptable barcode, its LED indicator will become solid green and go off (= Good Read). Upon completion of reading acceptable barcodes, the scanner will respond with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will become solid green and go off (= Good Read). *Ignore Output Sequence Enforce Output Sequence Apply Output SequenceWarning: When you disable the Multi-Barcode Editor later, the scan mode remain s unchanged.

For example, if it is con figured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off. Remove Special Character1) Read the barcode above to remove the specified character. 2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 220 for the desired character string.
