1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 5.6 MULTI-BARCODE EDITOR The Multi-Barcode Editor allows you to decide the output sequence of a concatenation of barcodes. Up to five barcodes can be specified. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode. Note: The Multi-Barcode Editor has nothing to do with Multi-Barcode Mode. The barcodes that are found meeting the specified criteria below will be arranged in the desired sequence.
Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 5.6.1 EDIT A CONCATENATION OF BARCODES Edit Output Sequence 1) Read the label above to start editing a concatenation of barcodes. 2) Code Type setting – read the “Hexadecimal Value” label on page 188 for Code Type of the (first) barcode. For example, read “4” and “1” for Code 39.

When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted.
Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 character, but it will remove every matching character encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met. For example, if it is configured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off.
