Settings for Scan It App to drop prefix character on label when scanning

Thanks for the information, and that makes sense.

For anyone else who comes across this, what I ended up doing was downloading the Honeywell Enterprise Provisioner along with the device settings package for the OS version of my scanner gun.  Under Data Collection Service, Decode Filter, I entered the following script and generated a scannable barcode label.

This takes any code39 or code128 label and strips the characters specified in the data.regex parenthesis.  Anyone else using Honeywell scanners can take this code and modify it to strip the characters as they see fit.

if (_event == 'decode') {
if ( _aimId == ']C0' || _aimId == ']A0' ) {
found=_data.regex("^([PKQVNDSHMLT])(.*)");
if (_match2 ){
_data=_match2;
}else{
found=_data.regex("^(3S)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(4S)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(5S)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(1J)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(5J)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(6J)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(2P)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(1T)(.*)") || found=_data.regex("^(4K)(.*)");
if(_match2){
_data=_match2;
}
}
}
}

Just a comment about this. To my knowledge Scanit don’t trim off any alpha characters for number data items, that trimming must have happened in the scanning device before the string reaches the Scanit field. Since you can enter/send alpha characters in number data items but you will then get an error directly when trying to save it.

Only trimming that could happened is if you use GS1 barcodes then our server framework will remove the AI Code from the barcode string when each object in the barcode is saved to corresponding data item.
