Step 4. Code I.D.
On page 4-5, 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.
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. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a univer-
sal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the sym-
bols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric
characters may be entered for each symbology data format.
Step 7. Scan Save 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. 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 2-3), Code I.D. and the
length of the format you want to delete. That length data format for that
symbology is deleted and all other formats are unaffected.
