Global Prefix
This feature applies to RS-232 interfaces (Standard, Wincor-Nixdorf, and
Single Cable). It specifies the prefix that is added to beginning of label
transmission.
To specify the Global Prefix Character(s):
1. Scan the SWITCH barcode.
2. Scan the barcode, SET GLOBAL PREFIX below. You’ll need to
cover any unused barcodes to ensure the scanner reads only the
barcode you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate characters/digits from the keypad in
Appen-
dix C
that represent the hex designation for the desired charac-
ter(s). A table containing the ASCII Character Set and their
corresponding Hex Values is available in the inside back cover of
this manual. ASCII parameters must be input by scanning a pair
of hexadecimal digits for each character. Thus, to set a two-char-
acter value of AB, barcodes containing the digits ‘4’, ‘1’, ‘4’, and
‘2’ must be scanned. The selectable range for this option is any
hex value from 00 to FF. Up to 20 hex pairs can be designated.
NOTE
To specify “no Global Prefix,” scan 00.
4. If designating the full 20 hex pairs, the scanner will automatically
exit Programming Mode when the appropriate amount of digits
have been scanned. If designating less than 20 hex pairs, you can
end the programming sequence early by scanning the
TERMI-
NATE SEQUENCE barcode.
5. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
barcode.
