Data Editing
Data Editing Overview
When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with
the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is
called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined
data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after
scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies. Figure 6 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

code data.
