23(3) Tab (ASCII 09h )Specifying a tab as a delimiter outputs tab-delimited data. No tab follows the tail of the data.A header and terminator are added to the full string. A prefix, suffix, the number of digits, and code ID mark can bealso added to the full string if their transmissions are enabled.Scanners equipped with PS/2 keyboard interfaces also transfer ASCII 09h for tab, instead of TAB key.(Example)AIs specified Output dataAI1=01, AI2=17 [STX]W2194901234567894[HT]040208[ETX]8.6 Data Editing Notes8.6.1 Data edit conditionsFor data editing, the following conditions can be specified.(1) Code typeAll bar code types or an arbitrary bar code type can be specified. This applies to "data extraction," "datasubstitution," and "blocksorting."(2) Code lengthNone or the maximum number of digits (1 to 99 digits) can be specified.(3) Enable/disable transmission at the occurrence of an errorThe transmission of data that does not match the data editing conditions can be enabled or disabled.8.6.2 Rules for data editingNote the following important rules for editing data with this scanner. They apply to "data extraction," "datasubstitution," and "blocksorting."(1) Data editing applies to bar code data.(2) A search string should consist of ASCII characters (00h to 7Fh) and a substitution string, ASCII characters (00hto FEh).(3) There can be at most one data editing condition.(4) Enabling the prefix, suffix, number of digits, and code ID mark settings adds them to the output. Note, however,that the number of digits is that after editing.(5) The number of digits includes any check digit--except for Code 93, Code 128, and EAN-128 symbologies.(6) Disabling check digits still produces them in the output if they are present after editing.(7) Conversions from the UPC-A format always include the leading character for adjusting the number of transferdigits and the number system character.(8) Conversions from the UPC-E format always skip the leading character for adjusting the number of transfer digitsand the number system character. Conversions to the UPC-E format do as well.(9) Conversions from the EAN-13 format always include the country code. ISBN/ISSN conversions ignore it.(10) Conversions from EAN-8 to EAN-13 format are ignored.(11) Conversions from UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, or Interleaved 2of5 (14-digit) to GTIN format are ignored.
