Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4
character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in
the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair
is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no
conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the
following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII cap-
ital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2).
The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conver-
sion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were con-
verted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since
they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 94 and scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in
the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover
of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the
string.
4. Turn to Appendix D, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex
characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected,
scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections
and exit Programming Mode.
