<>
Edit #1: Trailing Filter Character: DEC 0 HEX 00 ASCII ALT 
Enter the matching character to remove from the end of the bar code data. To remove trailing spaces from the bar code data,
set this option to DEC 32 HEX 20.
Edit #1: Operation: FILTER CHARACTERS
<> 
This operation is used to remove matching characters from anywhere in the bar code data. For example if you wish to remove
all dashes (-) from the data in a bar code, define an edit as FILTER CHARACTERS and enter the - DEC 45 HEX 2D as the
Filter Character.
<>
Edit #1: Filter Character: DEC 0 HEX 00 ASCII ALT 
Enter the character to be filtered from the bar code data. Any occurrences of the Filter Character in the bar code will be
removed no matter where they are located in the bar code.
Edit #1: Operation: INSERT LEADING CHARACTER OPERATION
This operation is used to insert a character into a bar code at a specific offset from the start of the bar code. When you define
this operation you must specify the position for insertion, the character to be inserted, and the direction from which the bar code
was scanned.
Note: This operation when used in conjunction with a Macro, see page 22, can be used to insert a string into a bar code at a
specific location. Simply insert a character that would not normally appear in the bar code and then use a Macro to replace
the inserted character with the required string.
Edit #1: Insert Position: START + 0
<> 
Enter the offset to indicate where you wish to insert the character. START + 0, is used to indicate the very beginning of the bar
code data. START + n will insert the character after the nth character in the bar code, where n is a number between 1 and 255.
Note: When inserting characters in the bar code data, the Insert Position is always relative to the position of the unmodified
data. If you insert a character at START + 1 and you wish to insert a character after the original 3rd character, you simply
define another insert character operation at START + 3.
<>
Edit #1: Insert Leading Character: DEC 0 HEX 00 ASCII ALT 
Enter the character to be inserted in the bar code, to insert a space enter DEC 32 HEX 20 for this option. You may press the
spacebar to enter the space or use the cursor keys to position to the space character.
Edit #1: Scan Direction: ANY
<> 
Select the direction from which the bar code must be scanned in order for the insertion to take place. To insert a character on
bar codes that are read from the forward direction only, set this option to FORWARD.
Note: It does not make sense to use this option when the input device used for scanning is a Laser or CCD. This option is
only useful for SLOT (Badge) or WAND readers.
Edit #1: Operation: INSERT TRAILING CHARACTER OPERATION
This operation is used to insert a character into a bar code at a specific offset from the end of the bar code. When you define
this operation you must specify the position for insertion, the character to be inserted, and the direction from which the bar code
was scanned.
Note: This operation when used in conjunction with a Macro, see page 22, can be used to insert a string into a bar code at a
specific location. Simply insert a character that would not normally appear in the bar code and then use a Macro to replace
the inserted character with the required string.
Edit #1: Insert Position: END - 0
<> 
Enter the offset to indicate where you wish to insert the character. END - 0, is used to indicate the very end of the bar code
data. END - n will insert the character before the nth character from the end of the bar code, where n is a number between 1
and 255.
