USER INTERFACE FACILITATING SPECIFICATION OF A DESIRED DATA FORMAT FOR AN INDICIA READING APPARATUS

摘要

Aspects describe herein facilitate specification of a desired data format for bar code data to be presented by an indicia reading apparatus. Bar code data decoded from an image of a bar code is obtained and displayed. A user input field is provided and, based on input by the user to the user input field, the user input field is populated with a representation of the desired data format for the bar code data. Based on the representation of the desired data format populated in the user input field, configuration settings are determined for configuring the indicia reading apparatus to present bar code data in the desired data format.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing a graphical user interface having a user input field that allows a user to specify a desired format of barcode data to be output by an indicia reading apparatus; obtaining and displaying via the graphical user interface sample barcode data decoded from a barcode; receiving input from the user via the user input field; determining the desired format based on the input; displaying, via the graphical user interface, a representation of the sample barcode data in the desired format, wherein the representation comprises at least a portion of the sample barcode data; and determining, by a processor, one or more configuration settings for configuring the indicia reading apparatus to output the barcode data in the desired format; wherein the graphical user interface comprises a user input field that is populated with a representation of the barcode data in the desired format based on input by the user to the user input field.
