Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the Imager to output data
(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application
requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading
the
Default Sequence
symbol programs the Imager to the Universal values,
shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all
formats before you read the
Default Sequence
symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code
I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use
the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the
Enter Sequence
symbol (see "Output Sequence Editor" on page
2-46).
2. Code I.D.
On the "Symbology Chart" on page 2-35, find the symbology to which you
want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
(inside back cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal num-
ber, indicating all lengths.)
4. Character Match Sequences
On the "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-36, find the
Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Pro-
gramming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the
ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes,
but you want the scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93
3rd, as shown below.
