For details on any of the above uses, see the previous section on Upload
Prefixes.
By default, Upload Suffix data is transmitted AFTER the data but BEFORE
the Terminator Character. The default transmission format when using
Upload Prefixes and Suffixes is as follows:
(ID)(Prefix) DATA (Checksum Chs)(Suffix) (Terminator Ch)
To transmit the Upload Suffix after the Terminator, change the Terminator
Character to 5 (the default is 4).
Programming the TriCoder by scanning
bar codes only
A program can be entered into the TriCoder entirely by scanning a sequence
of bar codes. This is particularly useful for resellers who want to distribute
a program that their users can scan in at any time. Using a bar code printing
program such as Worth Data Label RIGHT, you can print a sheet of bar
codes that when scanned in sequence, creates an entire program in the
TriCoder. This method can also be used to edit existing programs.
You can find out what bar codes you need to print (i.e. Code 39, Preamble
etc.) by scanning the bar coded TriCoder Setup Menu. To do this, you must
first set the TriCoder to Disable Full ASCII Code 39 (Code 39 Setup
parameter). The only code you will not be able to read is Start Setup (see
below for the bar code equivalent).
There are some functions needed to create a program that you will not find
corresponding bar codes for on the TriCoder Setup Menu. See Appendix
H; Specification for Code 39 for help in creating Code 39 bar codes. Here
is a listing of the functions (many of which are keys on the TriCoder
keypad), along with their associated bar codes:
Function Bar Code
Start Setup /+/
CLEAR key -+-
F1 key -/-
DELETE key -B-
Down Arrow key -D-
Right Arrow 01 to 15 fields, set nn to number of fields -nn-
ENTER key to terminate string (for Pre/Postamble, EOF String) -C-
YES CR ($M)
NO 0
END CAN ($X)
End Setup /-/
