The Data Editor condensed version has been embedded in the scanner. You gain access to desired Data Editor’s functions via scanning the menu’s bar code. The full-feature Data Editor is only available through HHP SET, which gives you the freedom of modifying the scanned data anyway you like, and allows you to integrate the scanner into any existing application.

Data Format Editor

The ultra powerful data editing functions provided by the Data Editor are controlled by user-defined rules. Through

 General Transmission Control

The available parameters include “Preamble,” “Postamble,” “Suffix,” “Symbol ID and Data Length Transmission,” and “Transmission Time Control.”

 Advanced Data Verification

The user can base the specific data format on the desired Bar Code Symbologies to select “Valid ASCII Domain,” “Valid Data Length Domain,” and “Matched Data Value” to establish any desired filtering algorithm. This feature not only provides an on-scanner data filter without application software modification, but also reduces the error reading rate and improves data capture reliability.

 Field Oriented Data Formatter

independent rules, users can easily get the following functionality:

The Field Oriented Data Formatter allows the user to flexibly divide scanned data by “Delimiter” or “Length.” When used with “Added Field” and “Transmission Sequence Arrangement” features, you can implement “Insert,” “Delete,” “Replace,” “Re-organize,” and other data editing capabilities beyond your imagination.

Programming the Scanner

Application Example

The bar code label is a 16-digit Code 39 that contains a 6-digit date code, a 6-digit serial number, and a 4-digit unit price (in that order). The scanner can do the following for you without software modification:

 Check the bar code to see if it is Code 39 or not. Reject any

codes that are not Code 39.

 Check the bar code content to see if it is numeric or not. Reject

any codes that are not all numeric as invalid.

 Check the first two digits to see if they match “99.” Reject any

codes that do not match.

 Output each of the three fields followed by a “TAB.”

 The date code output should skip “99” and replace it with “AA.”

 The serial number output should be led with “S/N:.”

 The first 2 digits (98) of unit price output should be skipped.

 The output sequence should be unit price (76), date code (1025),

and serial number (123456).

 Actual Bar Code label: 9 9 1 0 2 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 8 7 6

 Desired Output: 76[TAB]AA1025[TAB]S/N:123456[TAB]

Please use HHP SET to configure the full-feature Data Editor, and follow the procedures listed below.

Configuration Procedure

 Disable “Data Editor Pass Control” (no check in box = Disable)

Programming the Scanner

Bar Code Programming Menu

The bar code commands are specially designed Proprietary bar code labels that allow you to set the scanner’s internal programming parameters. The three main programming bar code types are referred to as System Command, Family Code, and Option Code. With the exception of the Option Code bar codes, which are found on the foldout section in the back of the book, each programmable family is contained on one page, and each page includes all of the bar codes needed to program the scanner. Refer to the flow chart on page 3-8 for further clarification.

System Command

The System Command is the highest level bar code command that directs the scanner to perform immediate operations, such as entering programming mode (PROGRAM), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations (M_DEFAULT), and so on. Please note that all system

Family Code

The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. More than one hundred programming families have been provided to meet any specific requirements.

Option Code

The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented by “0–9,” “A–F,” and finishing selection (FIN). For most settings, you must select at least one option code following the family code selection to set the desired parameter for the selected programming family.

Programming Procedures

As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, the information is stored in the scanner’s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory retains all programmed settings.
