Search for a Data String
This command allows you to create a data field by searching the scanned data
for a data string that matches a data string specified in the formula. If a match
is found, the scanned data will be divided into three fields: the data from the
search start point to the character before the searched data string, the data
string itself, and the data remaining.
SELECTION CODE: JG
Characters that Constitute the Data String to be Searched for
EXAMPLE:
In scanned data, to search for the data string ABCDE, enter:
... JG
D
This means that scanned data “1234567ABCDEFG” will be divided into three
fields: 1234567 and ABCDE and FG.
Add a Data Field
This command allows you to add a character string to scanned data before
transmitting it to the host computer. The character string you add will be
transmitted as a separate data field. (This command is optional.)
SELECTION CODE: JJ
Characters that Constitute the Data String to be Added
EXAMPLE:
In scanned data, to add one data field “abcd” to the scanned data 1234, enter:
... JJ
This means that additional field “abcd” can be added to output data string
abcd and 1234.
Note: The added string can be comprised of any characters from the full ASCII table.
However, the communication program used may not be able to accept the non-
printable characters.
Note: For CR, use CTRL-N (ASCII code 14h).
