Label ID Control
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to two ASCII characters (00-FF),
used to identify a bar code (symbology) type, available for all except IBM
interfaces. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar
code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature pro-
vides options for configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbol-
ogy. If you wish to program the scanner to always include an industry
standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous fea-
ture,
AIM ID
.
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning
the appropriate bar code.
3. Turn to the
Symbology Programming
section, locate and scan the
appropriate bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to
configure a custom Label ID, for example:
Code 39 Label ID
.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose either one or
two) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology.
Next, turn to the
ASCII Character Set
on the inside back cover of
this manual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your
choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign
(=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as
3D.
5. Turn to
Appendix C
and scan the bar codes representing the hex
characters determined in the previous step. For the example given,
the characters ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be scanned to select an equal sign
(=). If a two-character Label ID is desired, for example an equal sign
and the letter C (=C), scan ‘3’, ‘D’, ‘4’ and ‘3’ to select them.
6. Scan the SWITCH bar code to exit Label ID entry.
7. Scan the SWITCH bar code once again to exit programming mode.
