Insertion Mode
Note: Insertion by ESP is much simpler than by serial command because the text and
sequences can be visually verified.
Insertion by ESP
Up to 4 ASCII characters can be inserted at any point in bar code input and added to
the output. After scanning in a bar code label and selecting the original characters for
extraction, as shown in “Extraction by ESP” on page 13-5, do the following:
Definition: Inserts up to four characters at a time into a data output string. You
can add additional characters by repeating the procedure.
Usage: Useful in adding designators or separators to add meaning or content
to data in applications where label data needs to be sorted.
1. Click on Insert.
3. Click on Apply. This will
append the insertion to the
end of the extracted data
under Format. In this case
Format will read SPN123.
4. You can now add another
extraction from the original
(for example 40) followed
by an insertion and another
extraction in any order or
sequence that you want it
to appear upon output.
Note: When you click
Apply, Label #1 in
Label Output Format
Status window will auto-
matically be enabled.
2. Type in text to be inserted
or select ASCII character
from the ASCII selector
and click on Add to
Insertion Data.
6. Click on Test to see resulting output.
5. Click on Apply when all insertions and extractions
are completed.
Note: When you click
