Preamble
Purpose: Sets the preamble that precedes any data you scan with the computer. Common
preambles include a data location number or an operator number.
Note: You can set the preamble to use characters from the extended ASCII character.
However, you cannot scan in extended ASCII characters in the Preamble command.
Syntax: ADdata
Acceptable values for data are up to 25 ASCII characters. When you enter the
AD command without data, the preamble is disabled. If you are entering
quotation marks as data or grouping configuration commands, you need to
enclose the data within quotation marks (see the example).
Note: To scan a bar code label that includes quotes, you must configure the computer
to use Code 39 in Full ASCII mode. For help, see “Code 39” earlier in this chapter.
Default: Disabled (no characters)
Scan: To disable the preamble, scan this bar code:
Disable Preamble

1. Scan this bar code:
