  • Page 45: Output Sequence Editor

    When the output sequence is Off , the bar code data is output to the host as the imager decodes it.
  • Page 46 Output Sequence Example In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes, but you want the image scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below. Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
  • Page 47 To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 3-10, but assume a suffix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:...

    Video Reverse Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read bar codes that are inverted. The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. Note: If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.
