Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when
scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of
the order in which the barcodes are scanned. You can define up to 15 barcodes in an output
sequence.
Note:
To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length,
and character match(es) your application requires. Use the alphanumeric symbols from the
Programming Chart, beginning on page 211. You must hold the trigger while reading each
barcode in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
An output sequence is created using a string of serial commands that is sent to the scanner.
This string is most easily sent to the scanner using the EZConfig software tool (see EZConfig
for Scanning Introduction on page 159). You can also accomplish this by scanning
alphanumeric barcodes (see the Programming Chart, beginning on page 211).
1. If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, scan Enter Output Sequence
on page 45.
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page 200, find the symbology to which you want to apply
the output sequence format. Make a note of the hex value for that symbology. If you are
using barcodes to create your output sequence, scan the 2 digit hex value from the
Programming Chart, beginning on page 211.
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this
symbology. Make a note of the length. If you are using barcodes to create your output
sequence, scan the 4 digit data length Programming Chart, beginning on page 211.
(Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all
lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes,
suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 203, find the hex value that
represents the character(s) you want to match. Make a note of the hex value for the
character(s). If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, use the
Programming Chart, beginning on page 211 to read the alphanumeric combination that
