5 - 11
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
<CR>
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
<CR>
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.a
Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step
4 (page 5-1), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard
Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-12) in order for the B8 command to work.
If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 5-12), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output
as usual.
Because the data format needs to be On and Required (page 5-12) for the B8 command, you must input data formats
for all bar codes you wish to discard as well as all bar codes you wish to output.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 5-13), the
scan engine emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and
no tone is sounded.
