Check for non-numeric character
ED
Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the current cursor position. The
format is aborted if the character is numeric.
ED Example: Only output the data if the barcode begins with a letter
If you want only data from barcodes that begin with a letter, you can use ED to check for the
letter.
Command string: EDF10D
ED is the “Check for a non-numeric character” command
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
If this barcode is read, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on
this data. If there is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is output as 1234AB.
If this barcode is read: the data is output as:
AB1234
<CR>
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 60), 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 78) in order for the B8 command to work.
If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 77), barcode data that meets the B8 format is
scanned and output as usual.
Because the data format needs to be On and Required (page 78) for the B8 command, you
must input data formats for all barcodes you wish to discard as well as all barcodes you wish
