Step 10: Add Barcode Data
The processed barcode data is added to the output buffer. This is the scanned data minus any
stripped characters and subject to any control character replacements. If the total number of
characters stripped was greater than the number of characters in the barcode data, the barcode data
becomes a zero byte data string subject to any additional processing. If Strip Code ID is also
enabled, and Prefix and Suffix are not programmed, this returns an empty scan which is rejected.
The barcode data follows the Prefix (if any) and the Code ID (if any) already placed in the output
buffer.
Step 11: Add Suffix String
Access: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scanner | Barcode | Symbology
Settings
Use this option to specify a string to be added to the beginning of the barcode data. Up to 19
characters can be included in the string. The string can include any character from the keyboard
plus characters specified by hex equivalent or entering in hat encoding. Please see the “Hat
Encoding” section later in this chapter for a list of characters with their hex and hat-encoded
values.
Using the Escape function allows entering of literal hex and hat values.
Figure 4-19 Specify Suffix
To enable a suffix, check the Suffix checkbox and enter the desired string in the textbox. The
default is disabled (unchecked) and a blank text string.
When barcode data is processed, the Suffix string is sent to the output buffer after the barcode
data.
Because all stripping operations have already occurred, stripping settings do not affect the suffix.
The suffix is added to the output buffer for the Symbology selected from the pulldown list. If
‘All’ is selected, the suffix is added for all symbologies for the selected Code ID unless otherwise
configured.
Step 12: Add Terminating NUL
A terminating NUL is added to the output buffer after the Suffix (if any) in case the data is
processed as a string.
