PROGRAMMING VIA SCANNER INPUT
Data Editing, continued
Modifiers:
Original Data - Part or all of the original data string can be selected. The
programming bar codes must be entered in the following sequence:
O-STR,P,N, - where “O-STR” announces that the next bar code inputs
refer to where the output should begin and how many characters should
be output. For example, if 7 characters are to be output beginning with the
4th character, the bar code scanning sequence should be “O-STR, 4,7,”.
If we want all the characters after the 4th character to be output, the
sequence should be “O-STR,4,#,”, with the “#” character signifying that the
entire string (after the 4th character) should be output. Should you decide
that the last two characters should not be output, the sequence would be
“”O-STR,4,#-2,”, with the “#-2” specifying all remaining minus 2.
Finally, end the programming sequence with the “Enter” bar code. Do not
follow it with a comma. If you need to add another formula, do so now by
scanning the “IN_ID” bar code directly, followed by the rest of the second
formula’s parameters, and then “Enter” again. Lastly, scan the “Exit” bar code.
Thus, if we want to output just the first five characters only from UPC-A input
and then follow it with three “0”s, the scanning sequence should be as follows:
Special Characters
, Comma - Used as a separator between formula parameters, beginning
with the IN_ID parameter and ending with the Enter parameter.
“ Quotation Mark - Used to begin and end a character string. A character
string bounded by quotation marks is treated as a single unit, and would
be written as “abcd”.
* Asterisk - Wild-card character used to specify any digit or position.
# Hash sign - Wild-card character used to specify any letter or last position.
Enter Group 9 IN_ID , 3 , O-STR , 1 , 5 , “ 0 0 0 “ , Enter Exit
If we only want to treat UPC-A this way, but still want other symbologies to
output normally, the scanning sequence would be as follows:
Enter Group 9 IN_ID , 3 , O-STR , 1 , 5 , “ 0 0 0 “ , Enter
IN_ID , 19 , O-STR , 1 , # , Enter Exit
Note: Once a Qualifier is specified, other bar codes that do not meet the
requirements of the Qualifier will be disregarded.
If you would like bar codes not specified by the Qualifier to output normally,
simply add another qualifier that specifies all bar codes (19), starting at position
1, and outputting all remaining (#). (See example at the bottom of this page.)
