Abstract
A barcode reader for decoding and manipulating data from a barcode and providing the decoded and manipulated data to a remote computing system includes barcode reading hardware, including an image sensor which captures an image of a barcode within a field of view. The barcode reader also includes a processor executing executable code which generates decoded data representative of data encoded in the barcode, formats the decoded data, and sends the formatted decoded data to the remote computing system only when the processor executes formatting and routing instructions which the barcode reader obtains from a remote configuration server upon power up of the barcode reader.
