Auxiliary Port Input Communications
Aux Prefix/Suffix Selections
Aux Prefix and Suffix
Aux Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters you may assign to incoming
Auxiliary Port data.
Characters for the Prefix and Suffix are selected by their hexadecimal ASCII
value, up to 12 characters each. Prefix and Suffix characters may be assigned to
all incoming data.
Default Prefix (incoming data) = none.
Default Suffix (incoming data) = none.
Default Prefix (outgoing data) = none.
Default Suffix (outgoing data) = Carriage Return (CR).
Programming Steps to Add an Aux Prefix / Suffix to Incoming Data:
Step 1. To add a Prefix, scan the Add Aux Prefix programming bar code.
To add a Suffix, scan the Add Aux Suffix programming bar code.
Step 2. Scan two bar codes for the Hex Value “72” (“r,” which represents the
identifier for the Aux Port). Scan the two digits on the Programming
Chart (on the inside back cover of this manual).
Step 3. Refer to the Hex ASCII Chart(page 3-20) to find the Hex value that
represents the ASCII characters you wish to attach to the data. Use the
Programming Chart (inside back cover) to scan the alphanumeric
combination that represents the ASCII characters.
Step 4. To complete Aux Prefix / Suffix programming, scan either:
Save - This exits, saving the Prefix / Suffix selections you just
assigned.
Discard - This exits without changing the Prefix / Suffix.
Other Programming Selections: Scanning the Default Prefix or Default Suffix
bar code sets the default Prefix or Suffix (shown above).
Scanning the Clear All Prefixes or Clear All Suffixes bar code deletes all Prefix
or Suffix selections.
If you want to turn off the prefix or suffix formatting for a period of time, scan
Disable Aux Prefix/Suffix . To turn back on, scan Enable Aux Prefix/Suffix .
Note: Aux Prefix / Suffix programming examples may be found on page 3-19.
