The ‘Preamble/Postamble’ configuration is used to add a prefix or suffix set of characters to the barcode value. Up to 8 characters
may be added for each option separately. Preamble and postamble characters can function concurrently, but need to be configured
separately.
To add preamble or postamble characters, follow the steps below:
1) Scan the ‘Clear Pre/Postamble’ barcode on this page.
2) Scan the ‘Preamble’ or ‘Postamble’ barcode.
3) Use Appendix B on pages 33-36 to locate the characters you want to add as preamble or postamble characters. Make sure
that you scan the barcode associated with each letter before preceding to the next character. For example, to add the
letter “A,” scan the barcode corresponding to the letter “A”. The letter “A” will always appear in your data as prefix or suffix
to the barcode value.
4) Scan the corresponding ‘Pre/Postamble’ barcode on this page to exit this setting.

The ‘Terminator’ option is used to specify the end-of-text message and is primarily used to denote the end of the barcode value.
The ‘Code ID’ option sends a specific value when a particular barcode symbology is scanned. For example, if ‘Code ID’ is enabled and
Code 39 is scanned, an “M” will appear in the data stream in front of the barcode value.
