How to get a 5th preamble or postamble character


An advantage of Microscan scanners is the ability to have 4 preamble and/or postamble characters added to your data. Most scanners only allow 1 or 2.

What if you need 5 or more?

In the 860, EZ, 880, and the Quadrus Mini you can use the data output formatting function. Insert the characters you need for the preamble, extract the bar code data, and then insert the characters you need for the postamble.

any Questions?
