Prefix/Suffix Selections
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are
used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after
scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or
only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown
of a message string:
Points to Keep In Mind
• It is not necessary to customize the message string. The selections in this
chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.
Default
prefix = None. Default suffix = CR.
• If desired, each decoded symbology may be assigned a unique prefix and
suffix.
• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII chart (page 5-21), plus
HHP Code ID, AIM Symbology ID, and Scanner ID.
• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one
time.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear
on the output.
