Honeywell 3820i Barcode Reader User Manual


 
5 - 5
When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for-
mat or the image scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.
Alternate Data Formats
Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro-
grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-
mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar
codes below. The image scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the
data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary
format.
