Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code
data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated.
Figure 19 Prefix and Suffix Positions
Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code data. In
this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code, then scan the SET GLOBAL
PREFIX bar code.
3. Reference the ASCII Chart on
page 341
in
Appendix F
to find the hex value assigned
to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24.
To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from
Appendix D
.
4. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT
bar code to terminate the string.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.
The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:
12345
Resulting message string output:
$12345
NOTE: If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL
bar code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at
the beginning.
