Insert a delay

EF

Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from the
current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms
increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard emulation.

Discard Data

B8

Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 barcodes
that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (

page 120

), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step

5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128
barcodes that begin with the letter A.

Syntax = B8.

Note:

The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be

Required

(see page

135

) in order for the B8 command to

work.
If Data Format is On, but Not Required (

page 136

), barcode data that meets the B8

format is scanned and output as usual.
Because the data format needs to be

On

and

Required

(

page 136

) for the B8

command, you must input data formats for all barcodes you wish to discard as well as
all barcodes you wish to output.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error
Tone is On (

page 136

), the scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match

Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the barcode data is output to the host as read,
including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and
saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. If
a data format is

not

found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes

are

transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format

Data Formatter Off
