as indicated in Figure 4.

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 (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Go to
page 44
and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code,
then scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX bar code.
3. Reference the
ASCII Chart
on the inside back cover of this manual to find
the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding
hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code,
scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from
Appendix D, Keypad
.
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.
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.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:
12345
Resulting message string output:
$12345
