Step 8: Add Prefix 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 4-17 Specify Prefix
To enable a prefix, check the Prefix 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 Prefix string is sent to the output buffer before any other
data.
Because all stripping operations have already occurred, stripping settings do not affect the prefix.
The prefix is added to the output buffer for the Symbology selected from the pulldown list. If
‘All’ is selected, the prefix is added for all symbologies for the selected Code ID that have not
been previously customized.
